Seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 12/1) 29 days ago. Hood on 1st time and he's not ruled out back on the AW.

16/1
C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

17/2
Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 12/1) 16 days ago. Not without an each-way chance, albeit he shapes as though a drop back to 6f would be ideal.

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in June. 5/1, last of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 49 days ago, going off too hard. Looks vulnerable.

7/1
Latest win at Brighton in June. 25/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 4 days ago. 0-12 on AW and he's probably worth taking on.

14/1
40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 16 days ago. Runner-up off 7 lb higher over 6f here in March and he's of strong interest returned to this surface.

33/1
Fourth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Leicester (6f, heavy). Off 97 days. Cheekpieces back on. Winless following 7 attempts on the AW and he's likely to come up short once more.

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/5) 23 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper and he's one to consider.

20/1
One win from 28 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

33/1
3/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f), not knocked about. Off 123 days but this 11-y-o will certainly have a part to play if fit enough to do himself justice.

Forecasts

Dumfries (4/1), Chola Empire (9/2), King's Vanity (11/2), Shaw Park (7/1), Orbital Chime (17/2), King Of Ithaca (10/1), Bicep (14/1), Soames Forsyte (14/1), Mr Squires (14/1), Wildfell (16/1), Buckshaw Village (20/1), Reputation (33/1), Broken Spear (33/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is BICEP, who has failed to make an impact in stronger handicaps than this on turf of late but he now returns to the all-weather on an attractive mark. King's Vanity is another who could benefit from the return to synthetics (the first-time hood may also help) and he is second choice ahead of King of Ithaca and Reputation.

  1. Bicep14/1
  2. King's Vanity11/2
  3. King Of Ithaca10/1
