83 Expert View: Needed every yard down in trip, improved landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective up to 12f, acts on AW; well treated up 3lb, still open to improvement though drop in trip not ideal.
Form Snapshot: Successful at 1m 3f and 1m 4f on the all-weather. A winner at 9-4 at Southwell over 1m 3f on his latest outing in April, beating Extraterrestrial by a neck. Has also won at Wolverhampton this season.
80 Expert View: Looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 10l in a novice at Windsor latest; effective at 7-8f on AW; further improvement likely now handicapping up in trip.
Form Snapshot: Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 10l behind Bayaann when fourth of 11 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Windsor over 1m (good to soft) earlier this month.
84 Expert View: Short of room when closing, too much to do after, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 1m-1m2f, acts on AW, good to soft, sound surfaces will suit action; well fancied last few starts, probably a bit more to come.
Form Snapshot: Placed once in four starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Oh Yes You Do when fourth of 9 at 3-1jt-fav on his latest outing at Lingfield over 1m 2f (good) earlier this month.
66 Expert View: Disappointing handicap debut beaten 5l in a handicap at Chantilly last time; effective at around 1m; stiff mark judged on French form.
Form Snapshot: Yet to place in four starts. Beaten 5l behind Noble D'argent at 2-1fav when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Chantilly over 7f in February. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with F Henri Graffard in France.
79 Expert View: Below form up to 1m beaten 8l in a handicap at Haydock last time; in good form prior; top course jockey; off a short-break; effective at 7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; bounce back needed and stamina to prove.
Form Snapshot: Placed once in four starts. Beaten 8l behind Mohaaraj at 12-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Haydock over 1m (good) last month.
82 Expert View: Ran to form up to 12f on handicap debut beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 8-12f; needs more but could be capable of it.
Form Snapshot: Placed once in four starts. Third of 11 behind Caraway beaten 1 3/4l at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Thirsk over 1m 4f (good) last month. He is wearing cheekpieces for the first time.
81 Expert View: Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton in May; too much to do having missed the break but ran to form fourth beaten 2l off 70 last time, same mark here; effective 7-8f, acts on sound surface; consistent, should be thereabouts once more.
Form Snapshot: A winner at 7f on polytrack. Finished 2l behind Too Hot To Tango when fourth of 9 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Windsor over 1m (good to firm) earlier this month.
82 Expert View: Outpaced, bit below form on handicap debut, needed run beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; effective at 7-8f, acts on AW; looks to have reached level but longer trip could suit.
Form Snapshot: Placed in three of four starts. Beaten 5l behind Storm Point at 10-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) earlier this month.
82 Expert View: Too much to do but ran to form behind well handicapped rival when second beaten 7l in a handicap here latest; effective 1m/9f, acts on AW and probably soft; in form, can go well again.
Form Snapshot: A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 7l by Pentonville when second of 13 at 7-1 on her latest outing here over 1m 1f earlier this month.
76 Expert View: Every chance, bit below form when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Hamilton latest; effective 8f, acts on good to soft and AW; more needed based on recent efforts.
Form Snapshot: A winner at 1m on polytrack. Finished 7l behind Whernside when fourth of 6 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Hamilton over 1m (good) earlier this month.
The hat-trick seeking Magician of Riga has to be respected but a new mark of 73 demands more from him on this occasion. With that in mind, preference is for FAEBERON, who put in a career best when third on his handicap debut at Thirsk and first-time cheekpieces may bring about further improvement. Others to note are The Stone Power, Eljowhary and Windbreaker.
Magician of Riga still looks well ahead of his mark and is likely to prove popular in his hat trick bid. However this drop in trip may not be ideal and he could be vulnerable to an unexposed rival. WINDBREAKER has been well backed on his last few outings and his handicap debut run is worth marking up as he met trouble at a key stage. If getting a decent test he can progress and take advantage of what looks a lenient mark judged his attractive pedigree. The Stone Power is another who was held on his handicap debut but he likely needed the run that day. He's bred to enjoy this extra distance and could also go well at a bigger price.
