Hear The Drums (G)
Appeared to benefit from more of a test on soft ground for the first time when ending last year with success at Leicester (7f) in October. However, offered little after 6 months off (also gelded) at Redcar 4 weeks ago and it could be that …

Rocklaw (F)
Fared better than previously when fourth in a Thirsk novice (1m) on penultimate start but that was a muddling race and not in anything like the same form when well held on handicap debut at Redcar (1m) 3 weeks ago. Drops back in trip now.

South Coast Star (F)
Best effort in handicaps when second of 11 at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Subsequent Kempton run has to go down as disappointing but bounce back not ruled out on turf debut.

Musical Soldier (G)
FAV
[T]
Soldier's Call gelding who found appreciable improvement dropped to this trip when opening his account at Wolverhampton 16 days ago, setting a sound gallop and going clear. Good claims raised 5 lb back on turf.

Supreme Dancer (G)
Kept very busy as a juvenile, placed on 2 occasions but he ended the campaign below form on all-weather. Gelded over the winter and returns operating from career-low mark so one to monitor in the betting for a positive move.

Hood Wink (G)
[B]
Found improvement when dead-heating at Wetherby (1m) in April and paid for a big move into contention when fourth at Ripon (1m) on latest outing 2 weeks ago. Not discounted back at 7f.

Some promise for Andrew Balding on debut but well beaten in 4 runs for this yard.

Dream Forever (G)
Returned this year with pair of in-the-frame efforts at Newcastle and excuses on account of the draw at Pontefract 2 starts back. However, latest Redcar display has to go down as disappointing and bounce back called for.

88-2400 | Warren Fentiman | Jedd O'Keeffe | 3 | 58.1 kg |

Belling The Cat (F)
[P1]
Standout effort when runner-up on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) in March. Finished midfield both outings since and she'll need to pull out a little more equipped with first-time cheekpieces to feature over this longer trip.

Trucial Pearl (F)
[V]
Has been shaping up nicely in all-weather handicaps and again didn't get the chance to show what she could do when fifth at Doncaster (7f) 3 weeks ago. Not one to write off from her basement mark.

Lope Y Linda (F)
Yet to win in 8 starts but fared better than previously with her reappearance behind her when fourth at Redcar (1m) 2 weeks ago, run out of the places late on. Should prove as equally effective back at this trip on that evidence.
