Luke Catton(3) 18%

Jim Boyle 10%

9-9

5/1

Well suited by switchback tracks and took advantage of a handy mark when winning on his C&D comeback in April; found life tougher off his revised mark in better company here last time but this is more his speed back down 2lb.

AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

7/2 7/2 10/3

Better record on Polytrack than turf and the handicapper's given him every chance, with him now 3lb lower than when not beaten far as favourite over C&D in January; looks set to go well back on the AW.

AI verdict

SR 70 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

10/1 12/1 10/1

Won her first two as a 2yo and entered handicaps on an unrealistic mark; best efforts of late have come on Tapeta but she's won on Polytrack and has been offering more of late; capable at this level.

AI verdict

SR 57 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Tapeta win last summer came off this mark and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a positive as he returns to the AW after three ordinary efforts on turf; not always looked straightforward and interesting to see whether support comes this time.

SR 58 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

15/2 13/2 7/1

Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago.

AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Enjoyed a revival for James Owen and this yard earlier in the year, with three wins, including two round here; up in the weights now, though, and finished well behind a couple of these over C&D a month ago; needs more from somewhere.

AI verdict

SR 48 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Two turf wins here and two Polytrack victories at Kempton, latterly off 3lb lower in January; below-par in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when last seen four months ago (won fresh before) but remains on a workable mark.

AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run.

Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago.

AI verdict

SR 53 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Hold-up filly whose win for Ed Dunlop, from whom she was picked up in April for 7,500gns, came on Tapeta; become hard to predict and there's no sign of the usual headgear back from a short break.

40/1 FCST 33/1

Regressive maiden who had breaks between his three handicaps runs last year (beaten a long way each time); the first-time headgear will need to be a difference maker back from six months off.

AI verdict

SR 41 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Useful 2yo for Charles Hills who struggled badly during a limited campaign last season; handicapper quick to ease off and it wouldn't be the biggest shock were he to pop up for a yard also responsible for Searchingtheblues.

SR 59 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10/1 10/1 9/1

Regressive gelding who's having his first run in a sprint since this time last year and is drawn widest; well held back from a break on turf here a fortnight ago (7f) but will be happier back on Polytrack should they go hard in front.

AI verdict

SR 58 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Nothing wrong with his C&D second a month ago and was unlucky back on turf last time (same Bath handicap he won last season), when hitting plenty of traffic; will rightly be popular.

Maiden who's had his moments at the start and often pulled hard; reared as the stalls opened on his turf comeback and unseated, so can only be considered risky in first-time blinkers.

Ex-Irish gelding who struggled in three runs early in the year for Barry Brennan; well backed for his new yard on Tapeta early last month, when things didn't pan out his way, and is on an attractive mark currently; shortlisted.

Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers).

Winner here early in the year who's been held a few times since; running in a sprint for just the second time and, for all that she's a keen-goer, whether she'll have the required toe round here is the question.

Regressive and inconsistent for this yard, and is tried in a first-time visor instead of cheekpieces tonight; needs to bounce back from a couple of ordinary efforts on turf.

Front-runner who landed three 1m handicaps last autumn, the last two at Newcastle (Tapeta); twice placed off 2lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) earlier this year, but may be vulnerable to an improver; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Built on earlier promise upped in trip when off the mark in a Kempton maiden (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; off three months and this easier track may not be ideal, but the three immediately behind him at Kempton have all won since; respected on handicap debut.

Both starts at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta), finishing second of five on debut in March before landing odds of 1-2 the following month; that latest form hasn't worked out, but he remains unexposed and the longer trip shouldn't be an issue on this handicap debut.

Fourth of 13 behind Talk Of New York on his third start at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last October, but having been gelded he looked one-paced when fifth of seven on handicap/turf debut at Windsor (11.4f, good) a fortnight ago; needs to improve for the cheekpieces, but that is possible.
