17/2
Made a winning return for his new yard (sold for 16,000 gns) after 17 months off at Southwell in March. 10/3, ran well back on all-weather when second of 6 in handicap at Kempton (12f) just under 7 weeks ago, needing stiffer test. Fancied to go well again.

10/1
Ran respectably back up in trip when sixth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Epsom (12f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Merits consideration now just 1 lb above his last winning mark.

50/1
Thoroughly unreliable type who has refused to race. Ran better than for a while from a tumbling mark though still didn't look to be putting it all in under pressure when fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm, 40/1) 4 weeks ago and is easily avoided for win purposes.

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 10/1 and gelded, ran poorly when ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut.

40/1
Ran better than on his return while possibly still needing the run when sixth of 18 in handicap (50/1) at York (11.8f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Has dropped back to his last winning mark so worth a second look back up in distance.

12/1
Hasn't won since his debut. 9/2, ran a rather odd race under a change of tactics when 8¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Raintown in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago, staying on late. Folly to discount.

5/1
9/2, looked at least as good as ever when winning 7-runner handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy) just over 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Nudged up 4 lb for that success and every chance he will be in the shake-up returned to all-weather.

9/1
Latest win at Kempton in May. Ran up to best when second of 8 in handicap at same course (16f, 9/2) 25 days ago, leading briefly inside final 1f. Back down in trip but holds solid each-way claims.

14/1
Latest win at Lingfield in June. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 11/1) 12 days ago. Looks as though he's more effective on the all-weather, so not taken lightly.

4/1
8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, showed something like his debut form at the second attempt when third of 12 in minor event at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut and has to be respected given connections.

Has disappointed in a couple of handicaps this year, last of 8 at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut. Visored for 1st time. Has plenty to prove at present.

3/1
2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in April. 4/6, third of 5 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 3 months ago, possibly finding race coming too soon. Still looks well treated returning from 3 months off the track.

Forecasts

Road To Wembley (3/1), Inner Peace (4/1), Eyetrap (5/1), Cannon Rock (17/2), Damascus Steel (9/1), Dream Harder (10/1), Isle Of Sark (12/1), Raintown (14/1), Prince Maxi (14/1), Peace Walk (33/1), Cardano (40/1), Alright Sunshine (50/1)

Verdict

An open-looking staying contest in which the suggestion is ROAD TO WEMBLEY, who probably found a third run within a fortnight too much when last seen in April but still looks well treated returning from a 3-month break. He can get the better of Dream Harder, who lurks just 1 lb above his last winning mark, while Cannon Rock and handicap-debutant Inner Peace are another couple worth considering, too.
