William Hill Extra Place Races Handicap

C&D winner who has been holding form well lately, finishing with a flourish when third at Windsor 10 days ago. Dropped a pound since and should be on the premises.

Raced away from the action when down the field in the Stewards' Cup and also not seen to best effect at Windsor next time. Fewer excuses at York last time but at least this is a drop in grade.

Made second start a winning one at Nottingham in May. Has mostly held his form since and probably found the race coming too soon when tenth at Ripon last time. Type to bounce back.

Better on AW but is becoming well treated in this sphere and is the type who could get involved if the race plays to his strengths.

Boasts a progressive profile and had a good deal to spare when opening his account at Southwell 16 days ago. Opening mark of 80 might underestimate him, and he makes the most appeal.

Course winner. Below form fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Windsor (6f, soft) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Produced a career best to follow up from her Ascot win a fortnight earlier when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to soft) last month. Not totally disgraced in a better effort at York next time but current mark demands more.

Losing run is mounting up and arrives on the back of two lesser efforts, so will need the first-time visor to perk him up if he's to make a serious impact from a sliding mark.

Off 21 months/first run since leaving Martin Smith when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton in May but failed to back it up at Sandown two weeks later. That race may have come too soon and, having had a break, this 5-time C&D winner can't be completely dismissed.

Struck at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in April before finishing just one too good over the same C&D. Put in another good shift when a close third at Salisbury then underperformed at Newbury 70 days ago. Off since.
