Dual winner towards the end of last season but his issues at the stalls have stopped him fulfilling his full potential. Not disgraced last time and has shaped well on more than one occasion at this track.

Hasn't won for a while but latest second at Hamilton was a return to his best. Put up 2 lb for that and faces a quick turnaround, so may be vulnerable to better-treated rivals.

Useful filly who found improvement when second in a handicap at the Ebor meeting here last summer. Not in same form in 2 starts subsequently and was down the field in a listed event contest at Bath on return. Not seen for three months.

Has taken his form up a level this term, going in at Wolverhampton and Kempton before posting a good third of 11 to Lethal Levi in handicap at Newbury. Latest effort in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot is easy to excuse and he looks a player.

Hit the target on five occasions last year and, having edged back down the weights, took a firm step back in the right direction when ninth at Ascot last time, not getting a clear run. Worth taking a chance on in a race that may pan out nicely.

Enjoyed a productive spell in Bahrain during the winter but hasn't shown much back on these shores, so easy to look elsewhere.

Benefited from a return to AW when capitalising on a reduced mark with something up his sleeve at Newcastle last month. Has scooped a good pot here before and is still feasibly treated on his best efforts.

Resumed winning ways at Ripon in May and struck again when narrowly prevailing at Chester (6f, good) in June. Solid performance when fourth at Newmarket subsequently but it may be that the handicapper has her about right now.

In good order prior to a lesser effort (with partial excuse) at Ayr recently. Pretty tough customer who should be back on his game, so can't be ruled out.

7 lengths sixth of 7 to Trefor in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Hasn't fired since shaping well at Newmarket on return but could bounce back after a break.

10/3
Likeable type who has hit an upward curve all of a sudden and had a fair bit to spare when scoring at Newmarket last time. Probably saved for this and another bold showing is on the cards.

Can blow hot and cold but he has the capability to defy this mark on his day. C&D winner in the past so, despite a poor run at Hamilton last time, he's worthy of consideration.

Failed to get her head in front in 2023 but back in the winning groove on second start of this season at Ripon. Didn't fire over C&D last time and others may prove better treated.

Latest win at Doncaster in June. 15/2, below form ninth of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains capable of making his presence felt if things drop right.

Forecasts

Trefor (10/3), Radio Goo Goo (9/2), Silky Wilkie (6/1), Ferrous (15/2), Korker (10/1), Badri (12/1), Rage Of Bamby (14/1), Bergerac (14/1), Dare To Hope (18/1), Dapper Valley (20/1), Manila Scouse (22/1), Rock Opera (25/1), International Girl (25/1), Brazen Bolt (50/1)

Verdict

BADRI has had a quiet campaign to date but there were clear signs that he's on the way back last time and he's handicapped to win, so he's worth chancing in an open-looking contest. Trefor is thriving and looks an obvious danger, while Bergerac is still fairly treated on his best form and deserves respect after a comfortable success at Newcastle.
