Verdict
LA PEREGRINA lost the race in the stewards room at Goodwood last month but it was an improved effort tackling 1½m for the first time and he should relish the even longer distance this evening. Kakirra is bidding to make it 4-4 in handicaps and is feared most ahead of last year's winner Lusaka.

VerdictStraightforward type who showed a good attitude to resume winning ways at Bath (1¾m, good to firm) in May. Good second of 4 at Nottingham (1¾m, good to firm again) 14 days ago, just failing.

VerdictBest effort when third on 1½m course handicap debut but the fact he was beaten 8 lengths underlines that his mark demands improvement.- 4. La PeregrinaJ: Kieran ShoemarkT: Ed WalkerF: 6-5501d

VerdictFirst past the post (demoted to second after causing interference) in handicap at Goodwood (1½m, good to firm) 20 days ago, proving well suited by the step up in trip. A repeat of that improved performance would make him the one to beat here.

VerdictPossibly not straightforward and well behind the reopposing La Peregrina on her recent Goodwood handicap debut. Blinkers off, first-time visor on.- 6. KakirraJ: Rob HornbyT: Ollie SangsterF: 647111

VerdictMuch improved since sent handicapping, completing a hat-trick when just holding on at Wolverhampton (1½m) 37 days ago. A further 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. - Unnamed Favourite
