Comment: Hit the bar in a stakes last month and has been fairly consistent this year; unfancied when going close in an allowance optional claimer four weeks ago; this represents a step up in class so others have more pressing claims.

Got Soul

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Andy Mathis Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-411

9/2

Comment: Stepped up on his last two starts and aiming to complete a hat-trick; successful by 1l last month in an allowance optional claimer; longer trip presents a different challenge.

13/2

Comment: Gained narrow success in an allowance optional claimer three weeks ago; aiming to complete a hat-trick and winner of two of his three runs to date; this looks tougher but can figure.

7/1

Comment: Has managed three wins from 11 career runs; scored by just over 2l here over 6½f (stakes) on debut for this handler 49 days ago, that form has been boosted; is a player.

Prince Of Del Mar

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Andy Mathis Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 417-6

25/1

Comment: Creditable effort in sixth (beaten just under 3l) in an allowance optional claimer 50 days ago upped to 1m; his claims aren't overly compelling with tougher test on the cards.

33/1

Comment: Opened account at the fourth time of asking when springing a 14-1 surprise two weeks ago in a maiden special weight; this represents a step up in class so can be taken on.
