Verdict

This is tougher than the race FOURONEOHFEVER won at Catterick last week, but he did the job in such good style and will surely take plenty of stopping under a penalty if turning up in a similar mood. Forest Gate took a sizeable step back in the right direction when third in a Class 2 handicap here last month and he is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Mawood. Kind of Kiss and Seagolazo are others with claims in a competitive heat.

12/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (13.3f, soft) 34 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Completed a hat-trick when winning this race off a 1 lb higher mark 12 months ago and he has to enter calculations.

11/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago, slowly away. Has won on soft in the past and he's a huge player under a penalty (officially 3 lb 'well-in').

Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, soft, 22/1) 34 days ago, finishing with running left. Return to this trip won't be a bad thing and he's high on the shortlist.

Verdict
Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Goodwood (14f, good) 30 days ago. This drop back in trip looks a good move and conditions won't be an issue, but one or two of the others look stronger.

Verdict
20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 33 days ago. Has form on soft ground and he's one to consider having slipped to an attractive mark and with Colin Keane booked.

Verdict
Good second of 9 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good, 14/1) 26 days ago. Should again run his race, but this is a higher-grade that what he usually contests and a clear career-best will be needed.

C&D winner. Latest win at Sandown in July. 7/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Versatile ground-wise and he's in with an each-way shout.

Verdict
20/1, respectable 7 lengths eighth of 13 to Term of Endearment in listed race at Bath (14f, good) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Now 2 lb lower compared to when making a winning reappearance on the AW in April, but she looks vulnerable all the same.

Verdict
4/1, last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 48 days ago. Needs to bounce back following that poor effort, but he performed with credit several times earlier this season, including when fourth of 14 over 1¼m here in April, and was a winner on slow ground in France for Andre Fabre.

Last of 9 in handicap (150/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 17 days ago and this 5-y-o is hard to warm to based on what he's shown in his sporadic appearances during the last 2 years.

Verdict
Two wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (9/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 16 days ago. Good chance that he will have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test, so 3 lb rise for that success is unlikely to stop him in his tracks.
