The vote goes to AGAINST THE WIND, who appeals as the type of sprinter that his excellent yard will make hay with in the months ahead. Indeed, he did the job well on his reappearance at Thirsk and a 6 lb rise is by no means prohibitive. Sudden Flight tops the shortlist of several dangers having shown plenty in three runs on the all-weather and more can be expected now handicapping with William Buick aboard. Just King High is third choice ahead of Acrisius and Elouise's Prince.

    Verdict
    Newcastle novice winner last June and followed that by finishing a good fifth in a valuable big-field sales race over 6f at the Ebor meeting. Gelded ahead of his reappearance at Thirsk (5f, good) and won that 10-runner handicap in the manner of a sprinter who has more to offer. Big player.

    Verdict
    Improved on debut form when landing an 8-runner maiden at Southwell (5f) in February. Further progress when going down narrowly to another promising type back from a short break at Wolverhampton last month and he's of interest on this handicap/turf bow with William Buick booked.

    Verdict
    Made the frame all 4 starts at 2 yrs and, having undergone a wind op (also gelded), he has continued the good work this year, going close in an AW maiden and recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm). Looks more consistent than progressive, though and Tom Eaves prefers Against The Wind.

    Verdict

    Positives to take from Beverley debut in September and subsequently improved with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton. Clearly not short of speed and while more will be needed back from a break on this handicap bow, he could easily have more to offer.

    Verdict
    Off the mark at Ripon last June and acquitted himself well in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot later that month. Subsequently gelded and didn't shape badly on return/handicap debut at Newmarket (6f, good), a run that was almost certainly needed on the back of 10 months off.

    Cotai Glory colt who was well backed and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in comfortable fashion in a 7-runner Ripon novice last summer. Wasn't disgraced in listed company next time but signed 2-y-o campaign off with a disappointing display at Thirsk in September (gelded since).

    Verdict
    Kodiac gelding who, having showed ability in a couple of runs on turf during the the autumn, opened his account switched to the AW at Southwell (5f) in November (since undergone wind surgery). That maiden has already thrown up several subsequent winners and mark for this handicap looks fair.

    Verdict
    Created a good impression when winning on debut at Southwell (5f) last spring. Found life tougher in better company thereafter and while it's possible that he'll get back on track now handicapping (gelded/undergone a wind op since latest start), others make more appeal all the same.

    Windsor maiden winner last spring and runner-back there and also at Glorious Goodwood in July. Unsurprisingly found listed company too hot final 2-y-o start (also final run for Karl Burke) and this is probably more her level but, that said, she resumes for new connections on a stiff-looking mark.

    Followed cosy Lingfield novice success last June with a respectable effort in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. At that point her future looked pretty bright but there no further progress during the second-half of her 2-y-o campaign. Has undergone a wind op ahead of this handicap debut.

    Fairly useful dual 5f scorer at 2 yrs and no great surprise that he struggled on his reappearance in a French Group 3. Sights now lowered but it could be that his present mark (6 lb higher than for his narrow nursery success at Haydock in September) is a shade too high. Engaged 4.18 here Thursday.
