78 Expert View: Improved back down in trip showing willing attitude landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; has run into form after lay off and well treated if turned out quickly.
Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 7f on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 2-7fav at Ffos Las over 7f (good) last month, beating Flyta by 1 3/4l. Carries a 5lb penalty today for that success.
68 Expert View: Didn't see it out up to1m beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on good but almost all form on AW; competitive mark, stamina a worry.
Form Snapshot: Has won eight races from 7f to 1m on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Havana Touch when fifth of 11 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Kempton over 1m in June.
75 Expert View: Returned to form needing every yard down in trip in first time visor landing a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 7f/8f, acts on a sound surface; remains well treated on 2yo form, should be competitive.
Form Snapshot: She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good to firm ground. A winner at 6-1 here over 7f (good to firm) on her latest outing last month, beating Bella Bisbee by a short head.
81 Expert View: Improved again, idled a touch landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 6f, suited by 7f, acts on AW, good to firm; consistent, unexposed at 7f.
Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 7f on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 11-2 at Yarmouth over 7f (good to firm) on her latest outing last month, beating Izzy Fast by 1/2l. Has also won at Lingfield this season.
72 Expert View: No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; head carriage suggests breathing issue may still persist.
Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 7f on the all-weather, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 13l behind So Sassy at 17-2 when last of 11 on her latest outing at Wolverhampton over 7f last month.
Distinct Spirit ran on strongly to get back up and win at Ffos Las on Tuesday and he has every chance of doubling up carrying a 5lb penalty if he gets an easy time on the front end. ALLEGRINO has come home in the first three on her last six starts, including wins on the all-weather here and at Yarmouth last month, and with Alfie Redman claiming 7lb, she could be the one to beat. Recent course winner Wetsand appears best of the remainder.
ALLEGRINO was a winner on the AW here and she had a bit in hand when a fast ground winner at Yarmouth last time where she idled in front. She can defy a 3lb rise at the chief expense of Distinct Spirit who is well treated if turned out quickly after his midweek win in a weaker contest. Wetsand snapped a losing run over C&D last time and still has mileage in her mark judged on her 2yo form so isn't ruled out either.
