Post Rider (M)
Won at Newmarket (1m) last October and showed more like her true self following a recent pipe opener when third of 8 at Goodwood (1m, heavy) just under 3 weeks ago. Handicapper drops her 2 lb and looks Swiped's biggest threat down in class…

Nakaaha (F)
[H]
Has largely shaped well this term, her finishing effort again not really matching the way she travelled when sixth of 12 at Newbury (7f, firm) 8 days ago. Back up to 1m.

Sant Alessio (G)
Doubled his tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November, doing well to hang on after being largely responsible for the strong gallop. Down the field at Kempton (1m) on return in May and can have latest Salisbury effort overlooked (raced clos…

Thiscouldbefun (F)
[P]
C&D winner last spring who added to her tally at Lingfield (1m) in October. Shaped as if needing the run on return and easy to put a line through her subsequent Salisbury effort (shuffled back behind weakening rival). Looks to have her wor…

Swiped (G)
FAV
[B]
Showed improved form to get off the mark down in grade on second handicap start in 14-runner event over C&D (good) 18 days ago, seeing out the longer trip well. He's a 3-y-o on the up taking on older horses for the first time and stands ou…

Naval Ensign (F)
[HT]
Saw a well-run 7f out well when opening her account at Lingfield in January. Unable to land a blow at that venue both starts later that month, and never featured for new connections having been sold cheaply when fourth of 11 over C&D (good…

Got off the mark in first-time blinkers at Lingfield in February for William Muir & Chris Grassick but subsequently lost his form and has finished tailed off on both starts for new connections.
