8st 12lb

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Harry Charlton

Won three of his five handicaps, including warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) in his two starts this season; firmly in charge on first occasion and absolutely hacked up when 5-6 favourite in the latter 16 days ago; shoulders a 6lb penalty today, whereas his mark for future engagements is 11lb higher still; that suggests he wins today if he stays this new trip, and the dam being sister to a 1m5f-2m winner gives plenty of encouragement; deservedly a hot favourite.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Harry Charlton

Fairly unexposed sort who showed his best form when taking 14-runner Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; that race has worked out well, with the third and fourth winning big handicaps at Royal Ascot and at Epsom on Derby day respectively, so a 5lb rise now looks on the lenient side; form of his close second on final start of last year was also boosted at last week's royal meeting and he's a key contender.

8st 7lb

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Harry Charlton

Winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August; didn't fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) next time but resumed his progression in no uncertain terms when close second in valuable 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on final start, form which was strongly boosted last weekend by the winner (Yabher) and third (Daiquiri Bay); could have a big say if the betting suggests he's ready to roll after 211 days off.

J: Aidan Keeley

T: Harry Charlton

Promising debut (good to firm) on sole run as 2yo; lived up to that on third attempt when winning his handicap debut at Kempton (upped to 1m4f, AW) in August but he did not fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) 16 days ago; needs to resume progress.

9st 6lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Harry Charlton

Promising debut on turf one year ago and came right back to that form, and more, when beating 12 others to make winning handicap debut upped to 1m4f here six weeks ago; 6lb higher but he's got a useful pedigree and almost certainly has best days in front of him.
