The draw could have been more kind but the claims of SUGGY are well advertised and he can resume winning ways. Safe Harbor appeals most of the remainder, while Karakula Dancer and Stella Lucente also have to be taken into consideration.

Verdict
Ran to a fair level as a 2-y-o but hasn't gone with much promise both starts this season. Must improve with the first-time cheekpieces added.

Verdict
On the up since switching to the turf with the cheekpieces on with a string of second-placed finishes, latest at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago. Runs off the same mark as then and holds leading claims back on the all-weather.

Verdict
Much improved to get off the mark on handicap debut at this course over 9.5f in March. Hasn't gone on both starts since on the turf, with excuses on the first outing, and needs to bounce back returned to the all-weather.

Verdict
Lightly-raced maiden who's been placed all 5 starts to date, taking a step forward on form when third of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft, 9/1) in May. Has the first-time blinkers fitted and should be thereabouts.

Made the frame in 2 all-weather novice events before failing to improve on handicap debut at Southwell when last seen in January. Has work to do on return.

Still to get her head in front but she posted a very good second at Haydock (1m) in May. Wasn't in the same form at this course 10 days later after a very slow start.

Verdict
Progressive form in handicaps saw him record a ready success in 13-runner event at Kempton (1m) in May, form that looks solid for the grade. Failed to repeat that back on the turf at Newbury 25 days ago but appeals as on a good mark and has to be taken seriously back on the all-weather.

Placed in a novice at Kempton last year before a couple of low-key efforts in handicaps this season. Remaining at this trip is a concern.

Verdict
Won 3 times this year with the latest over C&D in April. Remains in form since, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third at Ripon (1m, good to firm) in June, not ideally placed. Has each-way claims again.

Opened his account over C&D in December and maintained his form when placed in both subsequent outings. Was too free at Lingfield when last seen in January and probably best watched on return.

Verdict
Free-going sort who was a dual winner round here on first 2 starts for Clive Cox at the turn of the year. Below form since in handicaps for current yard and has tumbled in the weights as a result. Makes little appeal at present unless the market speaks in his favour.
