Verdict

MAYDAY MALONE has improved this season, opening his account at Chester in June before running at least as well when second back there 22 days ago, so he is taken to double his tally in his current form. Anthropologist also arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, ahead of Spirit of Leros.

Built on previous promise this season when getting off the mark at Chester (7f) in June. Again ran well when second of 9 in handicap at same course (7.6f, good to firm, 11/4) 22 days ago and she's a key contender once more.

Doubled his tally at Ayr in June and has bounced back from a lesser effort last 2 starts, running well when fourth of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 11/1) a week ago. Can make his presence felt.

Verdict
Dual winner at 2 yrs and only narrowly denied at Yarmouth on penultimate start. Not in same form when seventh of 11 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back.

Verdict
Usually patiently ridden and hasn't been seen to best effect in handicaps so far this season, unsuited by way race developed when last of 8 at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 5/2) 2 weeks ago. Needs everything to drop right.

Made it back-to-back wins when scoring at Southwell on return in April. Below-par effort when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 33 days ago, but she could still have more to offer upped in trip.

Doubled his tally at Newmarket in May. Excuses next time before possibly amiss when last of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm, 17/2) 3 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track upped in trip.
