5/1
Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 6/1) 28 days ago, racing too freely in first-time cheekpieces (left off here). Return to this surface could help from easing mark.

14/1
C&D winner. 22/1, possibly in need of the run after 7 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 28 days ago. Comes here operating from last winning mark and better showing not ruled out.

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Ended last season out of sorts and fared no better after 5 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 50 days ago. Back up in trip.

Course winner who scored on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f) in January. Faced a stiff task tackling listed company when last seen in March and whilst this rates more suitable, her present mark does demand more. Up in trip.

14/1
In good form early last year, successful at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) in April and finished runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter. Off 13 months ahead of this but fact he's won fresh previously means he's worth a second look here from much lower AW mark.

Zoustar filly who landed a C&D maiden in February. However, not in same form either start in turf handicaps since, only eighth of 10 at Goodwood (7f, good) 23 days ago. Return to AW needs to have positive effect stepping back up in trip.

6/4
2 wins from 4 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 17 days ago, going clear and eased final 50 yds. Hold solid claims of completing the hat-trick on that evidence.

1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 9/4) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time and she could yet have more to offer for her shrewd yard.

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, last of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 28 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Atlantic Gamble (6/4), Rogue Soldier (5/1), Orbital (7/1), Supaspecialawesome (15/2), Little Heron (11/1), Crimson Coronet (12/1), Diffident Spirit (14/1), Equion (14/1), Star Mind (20/1), Cerulean Summer (40/1)

Verdict

ATLANTIC GAMBLE made light of a 4 lb rise for his breakthrough success at Kempton when running out a ready winner at Yarmouth 17 days ago and he may well be up to defying the assessor again and completing the hat-trick. Diffident Spirit boasts a good record fresh so he needs factoring in after an absence from his considerably lower all-weather mark. Rogue Soldier and Orbital, equipped with a visor, are others to consider.
