3/1
Showed improved form to get off the mark on just his second start in a handicap in 9-runner event at this course (8f, soft) in May. Hit with a 6 lb rise but showed himself effective over the 2f longer trip at Epsom (10.1f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago and remains low mileage.

8/1
Improved with each of his 3 starts at 2 yrs and returned to action with a creditable third on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) in April. Below-par display at Haydock later that month but he's been given a 10-week break since. Gelded since and now heads up in trip.

Winner at 2 yrs but arrives with a fair bit to prove following a couple of dismal efforts at Newbury and Epsom. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

11/1
Continued his theme of run-to-run improvement when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) just over 2 weeks ago, leading over 1f out. Up 6 lb for that success but has to be feared returning to turf.

7/1
Found a bit of progress away from turf for the first time despite not being seen to best effect when fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago, never nearer having been left poorly placed. This mark requires more, but he remains with potential.

12/1
Found immediate improvement for the fitting of blinkers when runner-up at Chester in May and just about matched the form when filling the same spot at Redcar (10f, good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago, a more patient ride not getting to the bottom of him. Each-way claims.

2/1
Off the mark on his second and final start as a 2-y-o at Yarmouth and has improved for the switch to handicaps this season, justifying support at Leicester (10f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Likely to progress further so he's high up on the shortlist.

50/1
Showed a bit more than previously when 6½ lengths eighth of 12 to Dramatic Effect in minor event at Goodwood (8f, good) just over 4 weeks ago. Steps up in trip and looks a big outsider on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Ashariba (2/1), Blake (3/1), Devoirs Choice (5/1), Prepschool (6/1), Highland Spring (7/1), Sun God (7/1), Von Baer (8/1), Midnight Rumble (11/1), The Hun (12/1), Dramatic Effect (12/1), Break The Bank (12/1), Golden Arc (50/1)

Verdict

A host in with chances but the verdict goes to ASHARIBA, who doubled her tally at Leicester just under 6 weeks ago (front pair pulled 22 lengths clear), and with further progress on the cards, a 4 lb rise certainly doesn’t look insurmountable. She can get the better of Midnight Rumble, who is improving with experience and opened his account at Lingfield recently, with Sun God taken to edge out Highland Spring for minor honours.
