BUCKLAND BELLE is very closely matched with My Old Mate on their recent C&D meeting and preference is narrowly for the Ollie Sangster filly with the good-value Conor Whiteley in the plate. Labiche can complete the 1-2-3.

Verdict
Found some progress to get off the mark on turf debut over C&D in May (form has worked out well) and backed up the improvement showed then when finishing a close-up third over same C&D 3 weeks ago, narrowly behind My Old Mate. Makes plenty of appeal again.

Verdict
Produced his best effort to date when second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 19 days ago, just ahead of Buckland Belle, and he'll be in the mix again if able to back that up from 1 lb higher.

Justified support to open her account in a classified event at Leicester earlier this month before following up in ready fashion in similar company at Brighton (7f, good) 6 days ago. Might find this tougher back in handicap company under a penalty.

Raced freely but made more impact than previously when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, 11/2) 25 days ago. Shouldn't be inconvenienced by return to 1m with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Verdict
Maiden who showed enough to think she's got a race in her from this sort of mark when runner-up over 9.5f at Wolverhampton in March, travelling best before being collared by an improving type. Poorly placed there last time but has 95-day absence to overcome and is yet to prove herself on turf.

Verdict
Maiden who ran creditably when fourth of 17 at Leicester on debut for this yard in April and finished runner-up in a 12-runner race at Lingfield (7f) last month. Down the field back at Leicester last time, though, so will need to bounce back.
