Lerwickb,e/s9(ex 5)
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-6| J: Hope Regan(7)| T: D M Loughnane| OR:  64| D
Won 9-runner handicap at Ffos Las 9 days ago in first-time eyeshields, capitalising on drop into this grade and the return to 7f to end losing run. Looks well in under a penalty assuming this doesn't come too soon, but has a difficult draw to contend with and an inexperienced rider taking over.

Spirit Of Breezet24
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: G & J Moore| OR:  64| CD
Won over C&D in October but flopped next time and had wind surgery after. Off 7 months afterwards and has returned to finish creditable thirds both starts this year, including over 1m at Windsor last time so merits respect back down in trip and returned to this track.

Split Elevens46
Age: 8|  Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Callan| T: J Butler| OR:  61| BF| CD
Three-time C&D winner who opened his account for the year in May then finished second at this track in June. Still in form when fourth of 9 at Wolverhampton 46 days ago when forced wide throughout and looks set to run well once more for thriving stable.

Scored for the third time this year over 6f at Lingfield 9 days ago. Now back up in trip under a penalty with a bit more required.

Quick Quasarb13
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-10| J: William Cox| T: A Watson| OR:  65| D
Off the mark at Kempton in March but has been wayward since. Bit better when fourth of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton 13 days ago in first-time blinkers but still looked quirky and may not be one for maximum faith.

Midnight's Dreamv14
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Parr| OR:  58| D
Placed 3 times in a row, most recently third of 10 at Wolverhampton 14 days ago. Clearly in good heart but this looks slightly deeper.

Timeform
Fair form at best but patchy with it and ran badly over 9.5f at Wolverhampton when last seen so he's best watched with inexperienced rider taking over. Visor replaces cheekpieces and now drops in trip after 136 days off.

Won over C&D for this rider in April but has disappointed since.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR:  61
Settled better when second of 9 to subsequent winner in a 7f handicap at Goodwood in June. Placed twice on all-weather previously so not without hope taking on older rivals for the first time.

Blue Samunah13
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: James Owen| OR:  59
Not much promise on first outing since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when eighth of 10 in a handicap over 6f at Newmarket 13 days ago but may be better suited by return to 7f and new yard will likely find the key to her at some point.

Captive Beauty23
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R Burdon| OR:  58
Shaped well when much improved on handicap debut, finishing second of 10 at Wolverhampton 23 days ago, not getting a clear run entering final 1f but keeping on. Looks capable of better and could prove a danger to all.

My Dad Tomp47
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR:  58
Yet to win from 11 runs. Last of 4 in a handicap at Lingfield on turf in June but suffered an over-reach. Returns to all-weather and back up in trip but may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Oxford Circus64
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: James Owen| OR:  51
Won at Dundalk on all-weather in February before losing way in headgear on turf after (now removed). Has tumbled down the weights and has joined a stable that could find the key to him so he's one to watch carefully in the betting back on all-weather.

Forecasts

Lerwick (3/1), Elvetham (11/2), Captive Beauty (6/1), Midnight's Dream (8/1), Split Elevens (10/1), Quick Quasar (10/1), Spirit Of Breeze (12/1), Oxford Circus (12/1), Chelio (14/1), My Dad Tom (14/1), Francisco (20/1), Wind Summer (20/1), Blue Samuna (20/1)

Verdict

CAPTIVE BEAUTY is less exposed than most of these and shaped well when a close second last time so another step forward could be enough for her to edge out the experienced Split Elevens. Oxford Circus merits a check in the betting given the stable he's joined.
