25/1
Has been a little out of form this campaign but he has claims if returning to the form that saw him finish runner-up in a Listed contest last year. Any rain a bonus for him but may need this run off the back of a break.

4/1
Only has a Leicester maiden win to his name and has been frustrating to follow this year. May want faster ground to be seen at his best and needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Chelmsford last time out.

Has suffered an interrupted career of late and not won since winning this in 2015. Only made it out three times last year and has a significant absence to overcome. Best watched on return

14/1
Inconsistent sort who was very impressive when winning on soft ground at York earlier in the season but has struggled badly on three starts since. Drop back to a mile probably not in his favour and still 5lb above his last winning mark.

40/1
Hasn't beaten a rival home in any of his last four starts. Not won since 2014 and hard to fancy in his current mood.

13/2
Back-to-back Listed winner in 2015 but hasn't won since. Shaped like a return to form may be imminent at Ascot last time and won't mind any rain that falls. Could run well off a lenient looking mark.

11/4
Impressive York winner earlier this year and back to form on last two runs, winning at Goodwood before a fine effort in defeat back on the Knavesmire. Suspicion is the handicapper hasn't got him just yet and he's versatile from a ground perspective.

9/2
Has improved for the switch to handicaps this year, winning two of his last three starts. 8lb rise for a dominant win at Thirsk looks fair but this is a much deeper contest and needs to prove he's as effective over a straight mile.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-10| J: Finley Marsh(5)| T: D Menuisier| OR:  90| D
5/1
Strike-rate of one win from 20 starts is off-putting but his effort at the Curragh last time out was a career best when third of 27. Needs some rain to be seen at his best but he certainly can't be discounted if he builds on his latest effort.

Just Hiss28
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR:  90| D
22/1
Career best when winning at York in July but struggling a little off his revised mark since and brought down last time out at Ripon. Needs to prove he's none the worse for that experience and others arrive with stronger claims regardless.

Forecasts

Battered (11/4), Muntazah (4/1), Kryptos (9/2), Sinfonietta (5/1), Big Baz (13/2), Master Carpenter (14/1), Just Hiss (22/1), You're Fired (25/1), Bronze Angel (25/1), Battle Of Marathon (40/1)

Verdict

BATTERED doesn't always looks entirely straightforward but he gives the impression he's not done progressing just yet and this may be a stepping stone before moving on to pattern level. Big Baz is dangerously handicapped on old form and is likely to prove the main danger if he can build on a respectable effort last time out. Sinfonietta isn't the most consistent sort but his run last time out was impressive and if the ground turns soft, he may be the one to side with.
  1. Battered
