V Twelve
Won over hurdles (2m, soft) in March and over 1m3f here (good; set the pace) in July; creditable third over 1m2f on good to firm last time but this return to 1m4f is likely to suit him better; player.

Val Bassett
Dual Flat winner in France in 2021 but generally disappointing in Britain for David O'Meara since last spring, dropping 20lb in the process; third of six on stable/hurdle debut four weeks ago and now has his tongue tied first time, a case can be made.

Thats My Boy Luke
Late foal who made his debut only in August and improved when second of five in maiden at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time; 1m4f is highly plausible, as is more improvement on this handicap debut.

Jaminoz
Regular at this track, including for two wins last autumn (1m1f/1m4f) and when scoring by a head from the front under Archie Young 18 days ago (1m3f, heavy); going back up 3lb still leaves him 3lb below reappearance mark; having ground softer than good looks important to his cause.

Amasar
Runner-up on two of his four 2yo starts (all over 1m on AW); not discredited on handicap/seasonal debut (1m2f, good to firm) in May but tailed off at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm), given wind surgery later in June and not seen since; mixed messages but he's unexposed.

Ribble River
3yo who has found some improvement since handicapping, off the mark with a strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f, good; acts on good to soft) on latest start; up 5lb but that win gave plenty of encouragement for 1m4f.

Susiesparkle
Ex-Irish; 12th race when she made the breakthrough in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) on Monday, produced with a steady run from mid-division to lead over 1f out and finish well on top; that was an apprentice event (ridden by Mohammed Tabti) for which she is unpenalised today; major claims if she's in the same form six days later.

Roman Secret
Ended last season on the up on heavy going and AW; this campaign has been a struggle and she needs better than her third of five on AW 13 days ago; 11lb lower than on reappearance.

Bristol Hill
Four wins from 42 races, the latest win at Hamilton (1m5f) in July on final start for Kevin Frost; soundly beaten on both starts since and he does not look the percentage call.

16-race maiden; pretty consistent this summer but needs to find extra.
