78 Expert View: Too keen and long way below form fourth beaten 30l off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, a sound surface and AW; still has potential from this mark if settling back down to 10f.

84 Expert View: Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; back to form second beaten 2l off 80 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f, acts on a sound surface; flattered by Listed form but is on a competitive mark.

78 Expert View: Bit keen, ran to form down to 10f when eighth beaten 6l off 75 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 10-12f, acts on a sound surface and AW; needs more than last time.

83 Expert View: Back to form tried on soft third beaten 2l off 73 last time; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and a sound surface; faster ground to contend but should go well.

Form Snapshot: He has won four times from 1m to 1m 2f on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Third of 8 behind Fans Favourite beaten 2 1/2l at 3-1co-fav on his latest outing at Beverley over 1m 2f (soft) last month. Has won 3 times this season.
81 Expert View: Well below form on softer ground down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 8-10f, acts on both sides of good and AW; mark easing but needs more.

81 Expert View: Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent, but needs a bit more for the win.
Form Snapshot: A winner at 7f on good ground. Third of 8 behind The Third Star beaten 3l at 9-1 on her latest outing at Southwell over 1m earlier this month.
85 Expert View: Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; ran to form beaten a neck off this mark at Haydock last time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; should go close again with longer trip a possible plus.
Form Snapshot: Placed in three of eight starts. Beaten a neck by Lc Tiffen when second of 5 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Haydock over 1m 2f (good) last month.
79 Expert View: Ran to form up to 10f beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Chester last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; on a competitive mark still, can go well.
Form Snapshot: Placed twice in eight starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Meet Me In Meraki when fourth of 11 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Chester over 1m 2f (good to soft) earlier this month.
Ciao Capo has risen 12lbs in the ratings since April and even his most recent third at Beverley gives him every chance, but it may pay to side with PERCY'S DAYDREAM. David O'Meara's filly occupied the runner-up berth in this grade over track and trip on her latest outing and a similar performance might be good enough. Southwell third Domination is another to keep a close eye on.
Saxophonist, runner-up the last twice, still looks competitively weighted and should again go well but it's too early to wrote of RIZAL after one bad run. The top weight was too keen when last of four last time and, provided he settles back down to 10f now, he can return to winning ways. Domination, who has held his form well since the spring, and Borjina, a fellow 3yo stepping up in trip, are others to take seriously.
