7/5

Comment: Beaten favourite on first three starts and he didn't find much on Polytrack debut at Kempton in May but fitting cheekpieces seemed to help in his first handicap, at Doncaster (1m4f) last month, when despite looking hard work he came through for a ready win; the 4lb rise may be less significant than whether the headgear works again.

Comment: Has come into his own in handicaps of late, looking a thorough stayer when making all at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and perhaps even more so over 1m6f at Nottingham since, where he was fighting back against a fellow improver when hampered on the rail; can step up again off just 2lb higher.

Comment: Has raced mostly over jumps but he's found a new calling in Flat handicaps of late, winning at Catterick (1m4f) before solid efforts on Southwell Tapeta (1m3f) and at Newbury; the extra furlong can suit; Tom Marquand up for the first time.

Comment: Promising handicap debut when a close second at Lingfield (1m) and he made light of the new 1m4f trip at Kempton in May, where a sustained challenge saw him in front near the line; perhaps that long straight suited better than when disappointing at Lingfield since but he still has potential.

12/1

Comment: Fairly useful but has a better strike-rate on turf than on AW and looks unfavourably handicapped back in this sphere, being still on a career-high mark; attempts 2m for first time.
