Verdict
A competitive fare, it could pay to take a chance on MIAKODA who arrives on the back of his best run on turf since joining current connections and looks interesting returning to sprinting, particularly as James Owen has an excellent record with horses wearing a first-time visor. Endowed won over C&D last week in a race that was run to suit and despite not being ideally drawn in stall 1, he could still be well-treated under a penalty. Recent Brighton runner-up Mehmo may prove best of the rest.

VerdictCapitalised on falling handicap mark when strong in the betting here 7 days ago, landing a 7-runner handicap over this C&D in a race that was run to suit. Not ideally drawn but is still well handicapped on the best of his form and merits plenty of respect under a 4 lb penalty.

VerdictOffered something to work with in qualifying runs and well backed on handicap debut when runner-up to an improver at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago. The least exposed runner in the field and could yet have more offer.- 5. MiakodaJ: Cieren FallonT: James OwenF: 55315964

VerdictHasn't lived up to anything like his pedigree/price tag, unsuccessful in 7 starts for Richard Hannon but did manage to get off the mark in a 7f all-weather handicap for James Owen. Ran creditably over 7f at Doncaster 8 day ago and looks interesting returning to sprinting in a first time visor.

VerdictRelatively lightly-raced and ran as well as she has when second of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, running on and shaping as though worth another go at 7f. Kept to sprinting for now but remains one of the more interesting types in here.

VerdictWell backed to win a 9-runner handicap over C&D in May and clearly wasn't anywhere near 100% on soft ground over the same C&D 16 days ago when trailing the field. No surprise to see her bounce back on a sounder surface.

VerdictC&D winner (off 1 lb higher mark) last season but unable to repeat the feat when sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Handicapper has given her a chance but needs to find a spark.

VerdictRegressed since encouraging debut and hasn't helped her cause by breaking awkwardly on last two starts in handicaps, latest in first time cheekpieces when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good) 33 days ago. Chance if she can rediscover juvenile form in first time blinkers.

VerdictHit the frame in a handicap at this course last season for Eve Johnson Houghton but has been struggling over 7f/1m for current connections this season. Remains to be seen whether he can recapture some form back at 6f.

VerdictRaces off a career low mark and wasted no time getting back to form when third of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 24 days ago, doing good work late on. Should be competitive again if in similar form here.
