Successful debut in 1m Goodwood maiden last August but his limitations have seemingly been exposed since, finishing last of 4 in Chester Vase last time. Hard to make a case for in a race this strong now handicapping. | |||||

Has improved with each run and did well to get up from further back than ideal in a handicap at Navan last time. Strongly-run race and step up in trip should suit, so merits strong consideration. | |||||

Well-bred colt who is still learning but did well to get up close home (from Surrey Mist) in a handicap at Newbury last time. That looks like a strong piece of form and he's open to further improvement, so he's worth chancing. | |||||

Already useful and had plenty in hand when doubling his tally at Thirsk a month ago. Bred to go on progressing and a well-run race is sure to bring more out of him, so he's on the shortlist. | |||||

Well-bred colt who is two from three and was well on top at the finish at Nottingham last time. The runner-up has already boosted that form and the step up to this trip should bring about more improvement. Lots to like. | |||||

Well-related and upped his game to open his account in ready fashion at Bath in May. This is a much more competitive scenario, but he has the potential to do better still. | |||||

Useful colt who comes here on the back of a respectable fifth in a listed race at Goodwood. Others look better treated, though. Cheekpieces go on. | |||||

Made a winning debut at Newcastle in December. Wasn't up to the Sandown Classic Trial on return and only respectable third in a novice at Nottingham since. Now in cheekpieces switched to handicaps/up in trip. | |||||

Lightly-raced son of Zoffany who landed a 13-runner maiden comfortably at Gowran in May. More required up in trip for handicap debut. | |||||

Boasts a progressive profile and had something to spare when doubling his tally in a Kempton novice in March. Good second to Israr in handicap at Newbury since, and a bold showing seems likely up in trip. | |||||

Arrives on a roll having readily landed a hat-trick at Hamilton a fortnight ago and, while this is much more competitive, he had any amount in hand that day, so he's dangerous to dismiss. | |||||

Hasn't had much racing and overcame difficulties to land a 13f maiden at Navan recently. No surprise if he makes a big impact on this handicap debut. | |||||

Progressive colt who scored at Beverley in May and put up a bold showing when second to another improver at Doncaster 12 days ago. Back down in trip now, but worth bearing in mind. | |||||

Powered away to open his account at Ayr in April then bumped into an excellent prospect at Newcastle last time out. That form has a strong look to it and he will relish this longer trip, so makes plenty of appeal. | |||||

Confirmed previous promise when landing a maiden at Windsor in April, going away at the finish. That form looks solid and he should benefit from the extra distance now handicapping. | |||||

Opened his account at the second attempt in Goodwood maiden in September and built on that when sixth in 10f listed event at Epsom last month. Needs to take another step forward here, though. | |||||

Is improving by the run and, while he only just held on to land a maiden at Chepstow recently, he's very much the sort to benefit from this step up in trip in handicaps, so has claims. | |||||

Winner at Dundalk in December. 28/1, very good 1½ lengths second of 13 to Yashin in handicap at Navan (10f, good) 19 days ago. Progressing and interesting up in trip under Spencer. | |||||

Newcastle 10f novice winner who was back on track when runner-up at Salisbury last time. Should be suited by another step up in trip, so can't be discounted. | |||||
