C&D winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. 9/1, respectable fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 37 days ago without obviously shaping like a winner in waiting.

Two 6f wins last year, including on testing ground at Leicester. Good third of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 33/1) on reappearance 53 days ago. Merits consideration.

Course winner. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 22/1) 12 days ago. Goes well on softer than good. Merits consideration.

9/1
C&D winner on soft last autumn. Good second on soft-ground reappearance in May. Not so good on a sounder surface twice since but capable of bouncing back with ground conditions likely to be more in his favour this time.

Fairly useful performer. Good third of 18 in handicap (12/1) at York (6f, good) 25 days ago. That was a competitive 3-y-o only event and he has some unexposed potential now taking on older rivals.

Very solid AW performer. Also successful on turf last summer but didn't go with obvious short-term promise when down the field on his Haydock reappearance 18 days ago.

C&D winner. Caught the eye when fifth at Beverley on penultimate starts and badly hampered when only mid-field at Haydock since. Starting to look well handicapped again.

Won 7f Ascot novice last September but hasn't beaten a rival in 4 outings between 1m and 1¼m since. Needs a much shorter trip and first-time blinkers to spark a significant upturn in his fortunes.

AW novice winner in November. Better form when runner-up in 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Epsom since returning to action in recent weeks. Hooded first time now. Lightly-raced sort who likely has more to offer and Oisin Murphy takes the reins.

Mohaather filly who was strong in the betting and made a successful debut in 6-runner novice at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June. Similar form when third under a penalty at Chelmsford (7f) 13 days later. Potential improver on handicap and turf debut.

Hasn't threatened in 3 handicap starts this year, looking rusty after 4 months off when tenth of 15 at Haydock (6f, good, 14/1) 18 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

It Just Takes Time (10/3), Sergeant Pep (5/1), Territorial Knight (11/2), Tiriac (7/1), Shiplake (15/2), Irish Nectar (9/1), Golden Strike (11/1), Pixie Diva (12/1), Law Of Design (12/1), Al Barez (14/1), Who Wants Me (40/1), Blazing Son (50/1)

Verdict

SERGEANT PEP goes very well on the sort of ground he's likely to face this evening and gets the nod to build on a promising reappearance at Haydock. It Just Takes Time and Irish Nectar are others who are very much at home on going softer than good. Shiplake and Pixie Diva are unexposed 3-y-os who add further intrigue to this interesting sprint handicap.
