Von Krolock (G)
[V]
Recently joined a new yard and won a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (11/4) in first-time visor (retained) 46 days ago, travelling well and just holding on at the line. Up 3lbs for this step back up in distance but connections seem to have fo…

R P Mcmurphy (G)

Won a 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (15/8) 13 days ago, making good headway to lead in the final furlong. Up 5lbs but remains of interest given recent progressive profile on AW.

Imola (M)
Has shown improved form since joining current stable with two placed efforts in last four starts. Unseated rider in 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (4/1) 10 days ago when appearing to be running well before being hampered 2f out. Major pla…

Spirit Of Bowland (G)
Form has declined since April win here. Seventh of 10 at this C&D (11/2) 49 days ago, dwelt at start and never threatened. Needs to recapture earlier spark.

Ribston Pippin (G)
Has been fairly consistent in AW handicaps, finishing fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (9/1) 15 days ago when racing freely and weakening late after leading. Has previous course form and can remain competitive.

Kodebreaker (G)
[P]
Better on AW surfaces with two course wins at Southwell. Hampered when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14/1) over 7f 18 days ago, returning to form back down in trip. Without a win in 20 races but could build on that latest effo…

Has been running poorly for much of the year but returned to form when second of 13 behind a less-exposed rival in 8.6f handicap at Wolverhampton (16/1) 13 days ago with blinkers back on. Could build on that improvement back at this slight…

Mickey Mongoose (G)
[P1]
Fifth in slightly better C&D race last start of summer campaign but poor comeback 12th of 13 at this course and distance (25/1) 29 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.

Remains a maiden after 16 starts and finished last of 12 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (100/1) 69 days ago when again finishing well held. Difficult to make a case for.

Invincible Storm (G)
Finished fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (100/1) 17 days ago, settling better than usual but finding no extra in final furlong. Without a win in 17 races and will need to pull out a bit more to break his maiden.
