WITHOUT DELAY was denied by the narrowest of margins over C&D earlier this month and looks the most solid option ahead of Lanarra and Ridgemaster.

Verdict
C&D winner last summer and good third here in May. Right back to form in a first-time visor when collared only on the line in a 7-runner similar race over C&D 3 weeks ago and should make a bold bid again.

Verdict
Finally exploited a tumbling mark in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f) in May, well suited by a strongly-run event. Not in the same form in similar races since but a return to his best would give him claims in this company.

Back to form when second of 9 in classified event at Thirsk (6f, good) 19 days ago (won corresponding event last year) and will have solid claims if arriving here in the same form.

Verdict
Opened her account at Newcastle (6f) last October and made the frame on her next 4 handicap outings. Bit below form when fifth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago but has to enter calculations dropped into classified company.

Won a 1m classified event at Newcastle in February and posted her best effort since when third of 13 in a similar race there (7f) 32 days ago. Not quite shown as much on turf this year, though.

Verdict
Twenty runs since his sole win but he arrives here on the back of a couple of creditable efforts, most recently when fourth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.3f, good) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Verdict
Didn't show much as a 2-y-o but more like it in recent months when making the placings for the second time when third in 10-runner handicap at Redcar (7f) in June. Lesser effort at Newcastle since and blinkers now go on.

Still a maiden but fared a little bit better than of late under more positive tactics when seventh of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.3f, good, 80/1) 14 days ago. Now needs to back that up.
