VerdictUseful at his peak in Ireland. Struggled to get competitive in handicaps and made the most of a big drop in grade fitted with headgear when landing 3-runner seller at Beverley 2 weeks ago. Needs to improve on that level in a deeper race.- 2. QitaalJ: Connor BeasleyT: Charlie JohnstonF: 47425233

VerdictOn a losing run but turned in his best effort of the season dropped in grade when second of 7 in a C&D handicap last month. Cast aside a lesser effort at Beverley when third at Ayr 2 weeks ago and this is a slight drop in class. - 3. YermanthereJ: David AllanT: Tim EasterbyF: 0455-0512

VerdictSnapped a long losing run when winning 7-runner C&D handicap last month, well served by the sound gallop and beating Qitaal by a head. Sound second at Pontefract 11 days later and he can remain very competitive. - 4. Wild VioletJ: Oisin James OrrT: Michael BellF: 321

VerdictGot off the mark in 5-runner novice at Redcar on return in April (7f) but unable to continue the good work in a pair of handicaps since. Stamina for this far has to be taken on trust.

VerdictVeteran who capitalised on a career-low mark in good style over C&D in May and added a 9f Musselburgh win last month. Rather in-and-out since but just 1 lb above that winning mark.- Unnamed Favourite
