2

Londoner

Reasonable efforts in two G3s over about 2000m on heavy ground. May improve for better ground.

4

Laafi

Only run three times. Well beaten in Listed race over 2400m on all-weather track in May. May improve.

Promising as 2-y-o. Disappointing eighth in Listed race over 1605m on all-weather track in April. Gelded since. Likely to improve.

6

Canute

Progressive. Won Handicap over 2000m at Navan comfortably 13 days ago. Could well cope with rise in handicap mark. A live contender.

7

Like A Tiger

Easily won Class 3 Handicap over 2000m at Newmarket in April. Disappointing when well beaten in Listed race over 2000m at Newmarket in May. Needs to resume progress.

8

Lose Your Wad

Well beaten in Listed race then Class 2 Handicap, both over roughly 2000m. Needs to improve.

9

Cuban Dawn

Respectable effort in Listed race over 1600m on debut. Gone close in two maidens over same distance since. Bred to appreciate the longer trip. Good chance.

10

James Mchenry

Improved in Handicaps over around 1600m this year, winning twice before midfield in stronger race last month. Tends to start slowly. Needs more.

11

Coco Jack

Won 4 from 16. Not improved this year, second in Class 3 Handicap over around 1800m at Musselburgh this month. Never raced over further. Tough task.

12

Have Secret

Best form last year when stepped up to Class 3 Handicap and won well. Good close fourth over same distance on return in Class 2 Handicap at Newbury in May. A good chance.

13

Knockbrex

Won maiden easily over 2005m. Faded when fourth in Class 3 Handicap over 2371m at York in May. Interesting on return to 2000m.

14

Raced once as 2-y-o. Promising winner of maiden and novice races over 1600m then 2000m in January. Not seen since. Interesting.

15

Fair 2-y-o form. Has not progressed but won Class 3 Handicap over 1789m this month. May improve.

16

Burdett Road

Progressed to easily win Class 4 Handicap over 2000m at Newbury this month. That puts him in the mix.

 

Reserves
