Four-time winner in France for the now retired John Hammond makes his UK debut here under top-weight after several tries in Stakes company without success. Market may be useful here.

$950,000 entire gained a second win when winning a Sandown handicap by 2L going away from Konchek latest in retained first-time cheekpieces. Upped 8lb today but there'll be few more impressive 5f handicap winners this season; fancied.

5f Haydock winner penultimately and ran really well second of 18 subsequently in valuable C&D contest beaten 2¼L. Same mark here and looks a big player with Moore booked; stable form a slight concern.

Won with a bit in hand on his only run for Jeremy Noseda and ready winner on debut for this yard at Beverley last month too. Strong handicap to start but looks an exciting prospect and certainly not one to take lightly here.

Kept good company since winning on debut at Newmarket in May 2018 but looks to be settling down to a consistent level now and after a neck third at Windsor he was second to big improver Magic J at Sandown; 7lb better off today.

Seven-time winner for Keith Dalgleish makes his debut for this yard after fourth of 12 and fifth of 10 finishes this season off today's handicap mark. Capable if change of surroundings piques his interest.

Won three of first six starts but 0-12 since and well held here latest when a couple of today's rivals showed up prominently so makes little appeal overall.

Four-time winner over 6f including over this course last September but not in great form so far this term and drop to 5f raises concerns.

Well placed to win five of his 13 starts, two on turf (5f/6f, inc, on good) and the last three on Chelmsford's Polytrack. Struggled here latest upped 9lb and with three re-opposing rivals all ahead that day he looks up against it.

The first-time cheekpieces seemed to unlock the potential in MAGIC J who absolutely dotted up under today's jockey at Sandown latest and is he arrives in the same form he will be hard to beat despite being upped 8lb. Recent C&D second Mountain Peak had a whole host of these behind that day so he looks an obvious player with unbeaten handicap debutant Bomb Proof adding intrigue to the contest.
