Smart performer for Aidan O Brien last year. Ran best race for current connections (fair form) when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Down in grade but needs to prove he can back that up over 1½m.

10/3
Useful handicapper who has won at this course. Arrives in good heart, finding less than looked likely when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 20 days ago. Looks worth another go back down in trip and he's a player dropped in class.

7/2
Useful 6-y-o who ran right up to his best when second behind Palazzo Blue over C&D (now reopposes that rival on much better terms). Not in same heart after 9 weeks off here last time but may step forward from that run and has solid claims on previous form.

16/1
Course winner who was successful three times earlier this year (once over C&D) and returned to form last time, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 13 days ago, typically slowly away. Back up in trip/class and only 1 lb above latest winning mark now.

Made winning stable debut here last year and has returned from an absence as good as ever, backing up 1m4f Kempton win with a when third of 12 in a 2m handicap there 29 days ago. 1-1 here and is entitled to be competitive back down in trip.

Only beaten by ½ length over C&D in May (now rated 2 lb lower). Stepped up on reappearance when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 22 days ago and is one to consider back down in trip with blinkers refitted.

9/2
Twice a winner on all-weather last year. Plenty of creditable efforts this year, but again didn't see her race out as well as she might (wore tongue strap first time - retained) when sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f). Remains to be seen if she fares better down in trip.

3-time winner over this trip for previous yard but no show in two starts on turf for Stuart Williams this summer. With a capable yard and market can guide on reappearance.

Forecasts

Another Run (2/1), Enemy (10/3), Assail (7/2), Umbria (9/2), Palazzo Blu (11/2), Something (12/1), Humble Spark (16/1), Robusto (25/1), Chemistry (28/1)

Verdict

ASSAIL makes plenty of appeal on the best of his all-weather form and is fancied to take a step forward on second start after a break. Robusto went close over C&D earlier in the year and rates a danger, along with C&D winner Palazzo Blu and class-dropper Enemy.
