On a handy mark and shaped as if he might be ready to capitalise when third at Beverley last time, sure to have finished closer with a clear run. Definite player.

11/8, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, soft) 9 days ago. This is a better race but he's well in under the penalty and certainly worth a chance to follow up.

Hasn't won for a while but his mark has come back into line and he finished to good effect at Leicester recently. C&D winner who could get involved if things drop right.

Latest win at Ffos Las in June. Last of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Returned from a break to capitalise on a reduced mark without much to spare over C&D 19 days ago. Not an obvious sort to follow up, however.

Scored at Bath in June and, following a couple of lesser efforts, was right back on track when runner-up at Bath a fortnight ago. Should be on the premises again.

Forecasts

Safari Dream (13/8), Harb (7/2), Soul Seeker (4/1), Secret Handsheikh (7/1), Jax Edge (8/1), Media Guest (14/1)

Verdict

SECRET HANDSHEIKH added to an excellent Brighton record with an authoritative success 9 days ago and the penalty is unlikely to be enough to stop him if in the same form. He's preferred to Soul Seeker and Media Guest, who both arrive on the back of encouraging displays.
