Verdict

ASTRACORNUS impressed when striking on his recent Nottingham handicap debut and a 6 lb rise may not prevent him following up, most likely at the expense of Windbreaker, who has a handicap in him soon judged on his recent Wolverhampton near miss. Magician of Riga, who was a place behind Windbreaker at Wolverhampton, is next on the list.

    Fair form. Beaten just 4 lengths when fifth of 11 on 1m Sandown handicap debut with cheekpieces added (retained) 26 days ago. A step up in trip needs to spark improvement.

    Verdict
    Won back-to-back all-weather handicaps at up to 1½m in April. Advanced her form again when third of 10 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 11 days ago, although the reopposing Windbreaker was ahead in second. This return to a slightly longer trip should suit.

    Verdict
    Course winner on good to firm last July. Another good effort here when second over 11f last month but suspicion he'll prove vulnerable for win purposes up against a bunch of 3-y-os.

    Verdict
    Left his qualifying runs well behind when making a successful start to his handicap career over 1¼m at Nottingham (good) 19 days ago. Well on top at the finish and a 6 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely.

    Verdict
    Cost just under half a million at last year's breeze-ups but has yet to better fair form, including on last month's Chester handicap debut (7.6f, soft). Still relatively early days but needs a step up in trip to spark improvement.

    Improved effort when close second in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, despite not being seen to best effect. Has cheekpieces added now. Looks capable of winning before long.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced maiden. Kept on well considering how keenly he raced when third of 7 on handicap debut/reappearance at Doncaster (1¼m, firm) 34 days ago. May improve if he settles better with that outing behind him.
