GREAT BLASKET goes off the same mark as when nicely on top at Sandown last weekend and can enhance his fine strike-rate. Sword has his own ideas about the game but his latest third in the ultra-competitive International at Ascot shows he's good when in the mood. Unexposed 3-y-os Watch And Shoot and Jarham complete the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Quirky but talented, winning 7f Leicester handicap on only his second start for David O'Meara. 18/1, good third of 21 to Two Tribes (won Stewards' Cup since) in International Handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, having to weave through. More than capable in this grade if in the mood.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. Nine wins from 30 Flat runs. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (10/3) at Sandown (1m, good) 8 days ago, well on top finish. Escapes a penalty as that was an apprentice race so his claims are obvious for the East.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced novice winner. Unlucky not to finish closer on 1m Windsor handicap debut and seemed unsuited by the return to 7f at Leicester since. Remains unexposed now returning to 1m with blinkers also added.
