Continued theme of race-by-race progress when third of 9 under an attacking ride in novice event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut and looks ready for 7f.

Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 2 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Down in the weights and shaped well when fourth under an attacking ride at Bath last week. Return to 7f in his favour and he figures on a tempting mark.

Better than ever returned to 7f/turf when gained second win at Salisbury in June. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 51 days ago and she's likely to remain competitive.

Pedigree offers plenty of hope but little to get excited about in her qualifying runs. Hood back on.

Cashed in on a drop in grade when opening his account at Lingfield in June. Excuses for subsequent defeats, latterly at this venue so needs treating as though still in form.

Long-standing maiden who found only one too good at Kempton in May but has followed that with a brace of heavy defeats.

Qualifying runs for John Spearing in 2022 weren't devoid of promise but low-key start in handicaps for this stable.

Looked rather limited as a 2 yo but did shape with some promise on return to action over C&D a fortnight ago. Chance he'll build on that.

Forecasts

Inverinate (3/1), Turquoise Diamond (3/1), Buy The Dip (7/2), Moondial (13/2), Guiteau (17/2), No News (16/1), Gintini (18/1), Mayz (20/1), Queens Resolve (25/1)

Verdict

GUITEAU has dropped to a very tempting mark, and having arrested the slide at Bath last week, he now looks ready to cash in returned to his optimum trip. Inverinate is a danger if back to his best, while Turquoise Diamond is a handicap debutante for a top yard.
