Study Of Words (C)
FAV
[P]
Progressed with each run at 2, easily winning 1¼m Newmarket maiden on final start. Confirmed he's useful when third of 5 in handicap back at Newmarket (1¼m again) on reappearance 5 weeks ago and that form has been boosted. Significantly up…

Lopeo (G)
Goodwood maiden winner over 1m in the mud last September. Returned with a promising second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at this course (1½m, good to firm) 42 days ago. Up in trip. Respected.

Killer Whale (G)
Fair form, bumping into a useful sort of Godolphin's in maiden at Wolverhampton (1½m) on reappearance 63 days ago. His opening mark isn't obviously generous but his leading stable has recent winning form in this race.

Gaelic Approach (G)
Much improved having been gelded/switched to handicaps. Latest 1¾m Redcar success came in an uncompetitive small-field event but he's the type of 3-y-o handicapper his yard excels with and it's unlikely he's reached his limit.

Second career success when making all in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap in April. Creditable third of 4 at Salisbury (1¼m, good) since. Significantly up in trip.

Any Which Way (C)
Much improved to make a successful start to his handicap career at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) on reappearance and did well from too far back when second of 7 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Open to further progress with t…
