Not won since his debut and this is much more competitive than his most recent outing at Newbury. Others look better handicapped.

Has won three of his four starts this year and impressive when coming from last to first at Ascot last time out. 5lb could underestimate him.

14/1
Won on his seasonal return but he struggled on his next couple of starts up in class. Produced a more promising effort at Newmarket last time out and first-time blinkers may help spark a revival.

16/1
A winner on debut at Haydock last year and while he was a good second of 10 at Newmarket on return all the way back in April, he's disappointed on three starts since. Looks reliant on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle here.

Won back-to-back small field races in July but hasn't managed to land a blow in three subsequent starts from his revised mark. Not beaten far last time out but this is more competitive.

10/1
Has been in good form throughout this year but has only won once. Carried his head high when under pressure at Goodwood last time and while he ran well enough in defeat, any short comings with regards to his temperament will be found out in this.

16/1
Ran with credit in a competitive heat at Ascot last month and stayed on in to fourth at Goodwood last time, once again suggesting he needed more of a stamina test. Dropped 1lb and capable of going well now on first try at 1m.

Won his first two starts and ran well in defeat under a double penalty at Chelmsford last time out. Winner of that has won since and capable of going well here up in trip with more progress on the cards.

5/1
Has won both starts since his debut, most recently when an all the way winner at Nottingham, staying on in fine fashion. Form of that looks solid if not spectacular and should run well if he copes with the step back in trip.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: H Palmer| OR:  93| D
8/1
Recorded a hat-trick when winning at Ascot back in May and while running well in defeat since, there's a suspicion the handicapper has him at present. First-time blinkers need to have the desired effect.

Tangled13
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: P Makin| T: R Hannon| OR:  92| C
33/1
In good form towards the back end of last year and well backed at Ascot last time out but could only beat one rival home. Becoming well-handicapped on bits of his form but it remains to be seen whether it's this step back up in trip that he needs.

11/1
In good form this year and followed up a win at Doncaster with a close second to Crack On Crack On at Ascot last time. Arrives on better terms with that rival and clearly going the right way at present.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR:  90
20/1
Lost his maiden tag this winter at Chelmsford and ran well back at that course in his follow up bid but his four turf efforts have been disappointing, including last time out at this course when 14 of 20 and it's easy enough to looks elsewhere.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: W J Haggas| OR:  89
16/1
Ran well when third in his hat-trick bid at Goodwood last time out when hampered. Clearly going the right way at present and a 1lb rise for that latest effort looks fair.

Borodin20
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR:  87
8/1
Improved from debut when a winner at Thirsk and has run well in defeat twice since at that course. Can race keenly but he's an exciting prospect and a return to faster ground may see him to better effect.

Queen's Sargent20
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR:  83
66/1
Lost his maiden tag on return at Musselburgh at the start of the campaign but the ground was heavy that day and he's not looked as effective on quicker surfaces since. Well beaten at Goodwood last time and others preferred at present.

International Man13
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: R A Fahey| OR:  79| C
40/1
Both career wins have come at this course but he disappointed in his follow up effort at Redcar last time when too keen. Down the order on jockey bookings here and others preferred.

Forecasts

Crack On Crack On (4/1), Urban Aspect (5/1), Borodin (8/1), Corrosive (8/1), Mystic Flight (10/1), Kassar (10/1), Ulshaw Bridge (11/1), Silver Quartz (14/1), Dream Today (16/1), Finniston Farm (16/1), Zap (16/1), Nicklaus (16/1), Commander Han (20/1), Aquarium (25/1), Tangled (33/1), International Man (40/1), Queen's Sargent (66/1)

Verdict

CRACK ON CRACK ON was impressive last time out at Ascot and with more progress on the cards and just a 5lb rise to cope with, he's the tentative selection in a competitive heat. Zap may improve for the step up in trip here and has shaped like in need of more of a stamina test in the past while Nicklaus looks like a progressive type capable of better.
