Second run back from breathing operation and more like it when fourth of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (9/2) 12 days ago, making running before weakening final furlong. Now goes up in distance.

5/4

Strong Brighton record with a brace of C&D wins during the spring. Finished 4th of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (11/10) 10 days ago. Course form suggests will appreciate return to favoured track.

3/1

Back-to-back C&D winner who completed hat-trick in 3-runner handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 85/40) 18 days ago, kept up to work. 1 lb higher here and he's clearly in excellent order.

8/1

Dual-purpose performer without a win in 21 runs, last seen running respectably when third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (8/1) with tongue tie 19 days ago. Needs a good test over this trip and that isn't guaranteed.

Form: 036-643

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| D

7/2

Completed AW 4-timer during the winter and also off the mark over hurdles at Worcester recently. Ought to be a factor back on the level.

Forecasts

Voix De Bocelli (5/4), Shady Bay (15/8), Twilight Guest (3/1), Init Together (7/2), Bohemian Breeze (8/1), Jazz Scene (10/1)

SHADY BAY impressed when winning at Nottingham on Saturday, staying on strongly and drawing clear. On that evidence, she can follow up under a penalty. Twilight Guest is in excellent form with a hat-trick including 2 C&D wins, so he demands respect, while Init Together adds interest having recently won over hurdles.
