The step back up in trip may see SYDNEY ROCK open her account. Decalogue is going the right way and needs considering along with Kimeko Glory (first-time headgear) in an ordinary contest.

Verdict
Low-mileage 3-y-o who is steadily improving in handicaps. Beaten just over 1½ lengths despite another slow start when third of 7 (fifth won since) in a similar event at Newmarket latest. In the mix if first-time cheekpieces sharpen him up.

Verdict
Three-time winner over 1¼m for Mark Walford/Brian Toomey last year. Shaped as if back in form when 6¾ lengths fourth of 10 at Sandown latest. Claims if building on that back down in trip sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Verdict
Runner-up all 3 starts as a 2-y-o (looks well treated on that form). Back in similar heart (with the aid of favoured stands side rail/solid pace) when clear ½-length second at Chepstow latest. Looks ready for the return to 1m and may get off the mark.

Verdict
Exposed 4-y-o got back on track when 4 lengths third at Bath (1m) before seemingly failing to stay the longer trip at Windsor (1¼m) last time. Isn't totally dismissed off a career-low mark.

Verdict
Typically outpaced/suited by the brisk pace when scrambling home (had to survive stewards inquiry) in a 7f course handicap last time. Prospect of a slowly-run 1m far from ideal and worth opposing in his bid to follow up.
