9st 6lb

J: Jack Callan

T: Richard Spencer

Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-2 at Chester when completing a double in a 7f handicap (good) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but he finished well to beat a clear second last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player.

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

First run since being gelded when off the mark in 6f handicap here (soft) 15 days ago; led late on in a style which suggests he should be as effective back at 7f and the Richard Spencer stable continues in excellent form.

9st 9lb

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Gelded since failing to live up to his market billing at Southwell in March; easing down the weights and this is a drop in class so not discounted; tongue tie worn on his last two starts is now dispensed with.

9st 6lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Richard Spencer

Promising second over C&D last October, his second racecourse start; no better than midfield in three runs in Dubai over the winter; this should be less demanding and he's not fully exposed just yet.

9st 4lb

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

£210,000 son of Mehmas who showed promise when keeping on for third on his 6f Newmarket debut in May; split subsequent nursery winners from marks in the 70s so the form is reasonable without being anything special; open to improvement five months on.
