Merrimack (G)
[T]
Solid placed efforts on his last 3 starts at 5f on turf, including 2nd over C&D last month and 3rd of 8 at Brighton 23 days ago. Raced freely on both those occasions and now tried without the visor.

Over Spiced (F)
[P]
Won at Bath in May and creditable third of 9 at Sandown Park 20 days ago on latest start. Drop in class today could see her involved with promising apprentice aboard.

Truly Glamorous (G)
Improved since joining new yard, fourth of 10 at Windsor in May on stable debut before winning 10-runner event there 17 days ago. 5 lb rise to contend with but still unexposed and has good-value apprentice on board so looks sure to be in t…

Artista (F)
Hasn't won since last August. Only seventh of 9 in a handicap at Newmarket over 6f 12 days ago. Back down to 5f now but has plenty to prove with very inexperienced rider aboard.

Life After Love (F)
All 3 career wins have come at Southwell on the all-weather, the most recent in April, but she did run creditably when third at Lingfield in May on sole turf outing to date. Comes here on the back of a lesser effort at former track but cou…

Just Jump (G)
FAV
Quirky sort who refused to race in May but landed gamble at Windsor 10 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds and beating Faustus 1¼ lengths. Stable bang in-form but has penalty and a higher grade to contend with, while he's not certai…

Nifty (F)
[B]
Twice a winner over 6f last year but below form this time around and continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage.

Faustus (G)
[P]
Won this race last year and is twice a C&D winner. Bounced back from tumbling mark when second of 12 to Just Jump in re-fitted cheekpieces at Windsor 10 days ago and is capable of getting closer to that rival with a swing in the weights so…

Havana Jag (F)
Winless in 10 starts. Shaped as if needing the run when 4th of 6 at Brighton on debut for this yard 10 days ago. May show more with that outing under her belt but looks easy enough to oppose.
