Selected odds by:

(10)

Full Verse⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 90| D

6/1

Didn't need to improve to win a novice event at Doncaster last time out when stepped up in trip. Handicap debut here and he ought to relish this extra ½f given how strongly he stayed on last time.

Form: 631

(7)

Fred¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87| D

5/1

Well backed prior to finishing last on debut. Has made no mistake in two runs since in novice company though and may have more to give from a workable mark on handicap debut.

Form: 811

(1)

Toro Strike³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85

10/1

Shaped with some promise on debut at Newbury and justified favouritism in a Thirsk maiden next time out. Stayed on well for second in a three runner conditions race at Pontefract last time and opening handicap mark looks fair; up in trip.

Form: 512

(8)

Xcelente²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84

16/1

A winner on debut but beaten at odds on next time out and didn't improve for his handicap debut last time at Chelmsford. Yard have a good record in this but he needs more here.

Form: 1243

(16)

Picture Frame³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 84| D

10/1

Sent off joint favourite in a Nottingham maiden having shown promise on debut and while she disappointed that day, she gained compensation in good style at Newbury last time. That form has been let down by the second since though.

Form: 461

(5)

Governor Of Punjab²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| D

9/2

Beaten favourite on debut but justified short odds in a pair of novice races at Chelmsford and Brighton subsequently. Handicapper hasn't taken any chances with opening mark but may have more to give if he settles better.

Form: 511

(6)

Indian Creak²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 80| D

16/1

Showed promise in novice company prior to winning a maiden at Epsom last time but gifted a soft lead that day and has more on his plate from his revised handicap mark.

Form: 8231

(11)

When Comes Here⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: A M Balding| OR: 80| BF

10/1

Only narrowly denied on Salisbury debut and looked in need of a step up in trip in his next two starts at York and Brighton. Opening handicap mark could prove lenient if he does take a step forward for the extra distance.

Form: 242

(9)

Stone Circle¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell| OR: 80

12/1

Improved from his first two starts to win with a bit in hand at Doncaster last time out. Steps up in trip for handicap debut and one to note here.

Form: 441

(13)

Sword Beach¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79

33/1

Yet to win in three starts and he was disappointing at Pontefract last time out. Stayed on so the step up in trip could suit but others make more appeal.

Form: 224

(2)

Dragon Command^v1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: George Scott| OR: 78| BF

5/1

Out of his depth in a conditions race at Epsom but won a novice event at Hamilton next time out in first-time headgear. A bit better than the bare result at York next time but has a bit more on his plate against these rivals; up in trip.

Form: 52514

(4)

Insania^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

25/1

Won a novice event at Thirsk second time out and not beaten far in each of her three subsequent starts including handicap debut last time. Will need to find improvement for either the step up in trip or first-time headgear now though.

Form: 51224

(3)

Willa²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: M Dwyer| T: R Hannon| OR: 74| BF

25/1

Improved from debut to finish second at Newbury next time but failed to build on that when favourite for a Kempton novice event, shaping as if she would benefit from a step up in trip; others make more appeal.

Form: 824

(17)

Pitcher²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: J Quinn| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

80/1

Well beaten on all three starts in novice company and now steps back up in trip with a bit to prove on handicap debut. Widest draw far from ideal.

Form: 946

Forecasts

Governor Of Punjab (9/2), Fred (5/1), Dragon Command (5/1), Full Verse (6/1), Toro Strike (10/1), Picture Frame (10/1), When Comes Here (10/1), Stone Circle (12/1), Rich Belief (14/1), Indian Creak (16/1), Xcelente (16/1), Willa (25/1), Insania (25/1), Iva Reflection (25/1), London Calling (25/1), Sword Beach (33/1), Pitcher (80/1)

WHEN COMES HERE has been given a workable opening handicap mark by the assessor and he may have more to give now stepped up to seven furlongs for the first time. Toro Strike finished runner-up behind a smart prospect at Pontefract and may be capable of better still while Full Verse is another who will be suited by more of a stamina test here.
