7/4

Good second of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 10/1) 28 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better, provided the forecast slower ground doesn't hinder him.

8/1

11/4, won 11-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 24 days ago, better placed than most. 0-7 on turf and he looks vulnerable under these conditions off a 4 lb higher mark.

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip and this 4-y-o needs to take a step forward.

6/1

Course winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 16/1) 13 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Down to a workable mark and she looks competitive on form.

8/1

Forecasts

Artavian (7/4), Lhebayeb (6/1), Endofastorm (7/1), Fravanco (8/1), Snapius (8/1), Galactic Glow (17/2), Spook (9/1), Change Of Fortune (10/1), Miss Harmony (18/1), The Conqueror (20/1), Dubai Harbour (22/1), Eklil (25/1), Anisoptera (28/1), Perla Marina (66/1)

The vote goes to GALACTIC GLOW, who has returned to form of late and he wasn't beaten at all far when fourth over 1¼m at Bath last month. Most of his form has come on good/good to firm but he proved that slow ground holds no terrors for him when runner-up at Nottingham during the spring. Artavian, who was a good second here last month, and Lhebayeb may emerge as the main dangers, while the maiden Change of Fortune also needs considering.
