7/4

Comment: Second at Goodwood before collecting by 5l at Chelmsford (6f) in a race that's worked out well; entered in the Group 2 Rockfel and the Group 1 Cheveley Park; prominent throughout last time and has the widest stall, but clearly she's useful.

Comment: Won novice here in 2023; York Group 3 (1m6f, good to soft) last July was the last of his five wins and close fourth of five in the slowly run Yorkshire Cup over that same C&D in May was easily best of his four runs since; big form chance, but only if he's back on song after a poor show at York in June.

Comment: Built upon the promise of his debut fifth at Newbury (6.5f, good) when occupying the same position at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to soft), where he kept on well; he's the type who should have more to offer and today's extra yardage is a likely positive; he's one to consider.

Candy

Jockey: George Wood Trainer: Richard Spencer Age/Wt: 3/9-9 F: 1-6700 OR: 92

Comment: 3yo who has finished no better than sixth across his four runs this year (good to firm/good); however, he was a soft-ground Listed winner last October and he'd be of interest if back on a slow surface.

Comment: 3-5 in last year's 2yo campaign for Karl Burke, including 6f soft-ground Listed win at York; however, he hasn't shone this year and a major turnaround is needed.

Comment: Three wins in France in the first half of the year (6f/5.5f, good to soft-heavy); however, made no impact on last month's stable debut at Glorious Goodwood (5f, heavy) and needs to be a different proposition today.

Francisco's Piece

Jockey: O McSweeney Trainer: Adrian Keatley Age/Wt: 3/9-9 F: 34-805 OR: 92

Comment: Well treated on last season's 2yo Listed form on slow ground; not at the same level this year but didn't run badly at Ascot (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and could build on that performance when back on slow ground; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Running Queen

Jockey: S D Bowen Trainer: Ollie Sangster Age/Wt: 3/9-6 F: 4133-7 OR: 89

Comment: Soft-ground 2yo winner who twice finished third in Listed races later in that campaign (5f/6f, good); mid-division in Listed race on sole run this season (6f, AW) and needs to build on that effort on today's handicap debut, but she's not ruled out given her 2yo promise.

Comment: Went close at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and another good run when second at Chepstow last time (7f, good to soft; winner raced alone towards far side); rain would aid this in-form 7yo's cause.

Comment: Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll.

Comment: Fourth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree is flanked by three hurdling wins, best form taking a strong handicap later in April on latest; 0-7 on the Flat (unraced here) but had some handicap form last year to be taken seriously; needs a close look.

Comment: Unraced here; tailed off lame in the 2023 Northumberland Plate on final start for Keith Dalgleish (same owners); has plenty of stamina in the pedigree and stuck on from last to a respectable sixth in nine-runner handicap at Goodwood (2m, soft) on return this June; dropped 2lb and should be able to build on that run with improved fitness levels today.
