Thrice-raced maiden who made the frame on his second start at Lingfield (7f, good to soft). Ran poorly on qualifying run and market may be best guide on handicap bow.

Found improvement to win at Windsor in May and placed there on next 2 starts, latest when second in 5-runner handicap (1m, good to firm) 6 days ago after conceding first run. Looks the standout on form racing from the same mark as last tim…

Violet Goldsmith (F)
Lightly-raced maiden. Showed first worthwhile form when second of 7 to Thanos in handicap over C&D (good to firm, 14/1) in May. Bumped into a progressive rival there and should find this an easier task down in grade.

Lady Of Clover (F)
Well placed in a steadily-run affair when off the mark in classified company at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month and again ran well when fouth in similar event at Yarmouth 8 days later. Steps back into a handicap with Murphy in the saddle.

Very Demure (F)
[B]
Best effort this season when second at Yarmouth in April but has since turned in a couple of poor efforts whilst not looking straightforward, even when fitted with more severe headgear when last seen. Has a bit to prove now.
