Verdict
BUY THE DIP added to his fine course record when runner-up over C&D 10 days ago and he appeals most, still 2 lb below his last winning mark. Cuban Girl is the least exposed and could well improve if staying the extra furlong, with Darysina Gold and Blenheim Star others to consider.

VerdictFairly consistent in handicaps around 7f, ran as well as he has when creditable second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good, 12/1) 9 days ago, well positioned the way the race unfolded. Should be in the mix again.- 4. Buy The DipJ: Pat CosgraveT: Jim BoyleF: 337768-62

VerdictFine record at Brighton, landed first leg of a double over this C&D last year. Stepped up on seasonal reappearance when runner up over the same C&D 10 days ago. Solid claims from 2 lb below last successful mark.

VerdictShowed benefit of reappearance run when also landing 6-runner handicap over C&D in April, showing a good attitude. Not in same form over longer trip at Yarmouth but should be competitive back down in trip.- 3. Darysina GoldJ: Georgia DobieT: Eve Johnson HoughtonF: 12452-742

VerdictHad disappointed twice this season despite featuring prominently in the betting but bounced back down in trip when runner-up over C&D 1 week ago, settling better than she had on previous starts this campaign. Should run well again. - 6. Cuban GirlJ: Callum HutchinsonT: Andrew BaldingF: 370-94

VerdictNot without promise as a 2-y-o and left behind reappearance run to finish creditable fourth of 10 (with hood reapplied) in a handicap at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, kept on. Not guaranteed to get the extra furlong on pedigree but running style suggests she should stay. One to consider.

Verdict4 wins from 10 runs this year but those victories came on the all-weather. Below form back on turf after 10 weeks off when 7/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good) 10 days ago. Will need to step up on that effort.

VerdictC&D winner again made a winning reappearance at Bath (1m) in April but has found life tougher from new mark in two subsequent starts. Handicapper has relented a little but he may still have a bit to find.
