Enhanced excellent record fresh when returning with a bang to land 12-runner handicap over C&D last month. Held up in a race that wasn't run to suit the closers at York a week ago so that effort can be excused.
|
Big career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) taking on his elders for the first time a month ago. 4 lb rise very fair and no reason why he won't be as effective on turf.
|
Dual scorer at Chester during the summer and returned to form going close back on the Roodee last month. Limited impact in better company the last twice but this a far more suitable assignment.
|
Back to winning ways at Windsor in July but unable to repeat that form twice since, albeit he raced solo up the rail at Ascot a fortnight ago.
|
Regular in good-quality sprint handicaps but isn't the most genuine and he never threatened to get involved on his last 2 outings. Drop in class can only help but others more persuasive.
|
Big-field handicap winner at the Curragh in April and better than ever when second at Roscommon on Monday. Excellent record on testing ground and he's a major player.
|
Difficult ride who ended his time for Marco Botti in disappointing fashion. Lots to prove on first start since February on just his second turf outing.
|
Won back-to-back 6f handicaps at Hamilton last month but found out by a penalty/rise in class at Ayr last week and similar story likely here.

Forecasts
Mercurial (15/8), Hour By Hour (7/2), Palmar Bay (5/1), Admiral D (15/2), Woven (8/1), Hyperfocus (11/1), Drama (12/1), Eden Storm (150/1)
MERCURIAL revels in these underfoot conditions and was better than ever at Roscommon on Monday, so he looks primed for a very bold bid. Drama bagged a nice pot on the AW last time and is a huge threat if carrying on the good work to turf, with Hyperfocus also of interest down in class.
