Aim For The Bullp17
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy| OR:  54| CD
Belatedly off the mark over C&D and bounced back to form when scoring by ½ length from Timely Affair in this grade at Kempton (1m) last time. Should remain competitive off 3 lb higher.

Timely Affair17
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR:  53| BF| C
Opened his account in classified stakes here in January and bounced straight back to form (unlucky not to finish closer) when runner-up behind Aim For The Bull at Kempton last time. Low-mileage 4-y-o should give another good account on first start over 7f.

Gundogan17
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-8| J: Myla Coppins(7)| T: A W Carroll| OR:  53| BF
Has proven expensive to follow of late, extending on a long losing run when (13/8) fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) latest. Best recent form has come at this track, though, and could be worth another chance.

Just King Hight29
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: William Carver| T: R Burdon| OR:  49| C
Having fallen a long way in the weights, confirmed himself back in form when runner-up at Wolverhampton on final start for Thomas Faulkner, and could go one better returning to scene of his sole previous success on stable debut.

Forecasts

Timely Affair (10/3), Aim For The Bull (7/2), Shades Of May (4/1), Just King High (7/1), Gundogan (8/1), Hannah's Return (10/1), Brother Dave (10/1), Ardaddy (14/1), Pink Socks (25/1), Kitty's Dream (33/1), Frontpagemoos (50/1)

Verdict

A competitive low-grade handicap may go the way of interesting stable debutant JUST KING HIGH. Last-time-out winner Shades of May should go well again, with Gundogan worth considering on return to this course.
