3/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago, making only laboured headway over 1f out. First-time cheekpieces need to sharpen him up kept to this trip.

9/2
Largely consistent sort who got off the mark at the fifteenth time of asking in 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 4 weeks ago, well suited by coming off a good pace. Should be competitive again nudged up 2 lb.

Off the mark fitted with a first-time tongue strap over C&D in February but record patchy subsequently and she blotted her copybook by refusing to race at Ripon 13 days ago. Plenty to prove on the back of that.

9/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, possibly needed the run after 7 months off when last of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm, 11/2) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and mark has eased a little more ahead of this.

5/1
Stepped up on reappearance run when third in a C&D handicap in April. Not in same form when seventh of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago but a return to this surface may well see him in a better light.

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, last of 8 in maiden at Brighton (6f, good to firm, 80/1) 23 days ago. Switch to handicaps looks in her favour now and interesting if the market spoke in her favour.

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (7.2f, 300/1) 87 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Plenty more needed now her attentions switch to handicaps.

11/4
Son of Time Test who showed improved form under a positive ride when second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago, edged out on line by another handicap debutant. Still very much a work-in-progress and considered with further improvement expected.

28/1
Stepped up plenty on her stable debut effort when close-up third at Chelmsford (6f) in April. Not for the first time, disappointed on turf when sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 17 days ago and return to an artificial surface likely to see her in a better light.

Forecasts

Promise Time (11/4), Gorgeous Mr George (3/1), Woodhay Whisper (9/2), Summer Rain (5/1), Up The Anti (9/1), Fancy Dancer (11/1), Sun Keeper (16/1), Red Vines (25/1), Sarabi (28/1)

Verdict

PROMISE TIME was much improved having been allowed his head when edged out late in the day on handicap debut at Southwell 3 weeks ago and, appealing as the type to progress again as he gains further experience, he can confirm the promise of that effort from a handy draw. Chelmsford scorer Woodhay Whisper is an obvious danger under Joe Leavy, with Gorgeous Mr George and Summer Rain next best.
