5/1

Looked very much on the up after pair of 5f wins at Brighton in June/July but did himself no favours following a typically slow break when down the field in a 26-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Return to class 5 company in his favour now and no surprise to see him bounce back.

9/2

Successful from 2 lb higher mark at Haydock (6f) last summer and not far off that level when third at Newbury (6f) on penultimate start. Failed to see her race out on just her second try at 7f back at Haydock 3 weeks ago and return to sprinting will suit.

5/2

Landed a gamble on final start for Thomas Faulkner at Chepstow (7f) in May and knocking on the door in refitted visor for present stable, setting sound pace when again finding only one too good at Newmarket (6f) 2 weeks ago. Can go well again with Tom Marquand aboard.

10/3

Won a 5f novice at Southwell in December. Well held on Newcastle handicap debut in January but back on track switched to turf in recent weeks, equipped with a first-time tongue strap when second at Newmarket (5f) 4 weeks ago. Less exposed than most ahead of this return to 6f.

Form: 431-532

Dark Alley^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 67| D

10/1

Bath maiden winner (6f) last summer and has performed well on 2 of her 4 starts upon returning this season, down to a career-low mark when finding only one too good at Windsor (6f, firm) 2 weeks ago. Leaves the impression he needs to pull out a little more, though.

Form: 64-5792

12/1

Much improved when getting off the mark on handicap debut at Southwell (6f) on reappearance in April. Placed next 3 starts and whilst he hasn't scaled same heights more recently, his latest Chepstow run (badly hampered) can be easily overlooked.

17/2

Landed back-to-back 6f handicaps at Southwell for Robert Cowell last autumn but not really threatened kept to longer trips for present stable in recent months. Assessor eases his grip a little more at least and the return to sprinting looks a good move.

Forecasts

Veil Of Clouds (7/4), Northcliff (5/2), Sound And Vision (10/3), Raffles Angel (9/2), Rory Rocket (5/1), Ararat (17/2), Dark Alley (10/1), Eightthreeone (12/1), Newsreader (12/1), Perfect Location (14/1)

VEIL OF CLOUDS proved a class apart and made a mockery of her mark at the second attempt at Lingfield 11 days ago. Wisely turned out under a penalty and sufficiently lightly raced to expect further progress, she makes plenty of appeal back on turf. Newsreader shaped well starting out for Tony Carroll at Ffos Las recently and along with Northcliff, heads the dangers.
