Trust Sergei is on a hat-trick and holds strong claims but preference is for THURSO (nap), who has been knocking at the door and is taken to get off the mark. Bern Rossetti is a possible player now at 6f, while handicap newcomers March To The Band, Captain Parma and Volendam are others to be interested in.[Ben Hutton]

Best run came in the middle of his three starts, when fourth at Dundalk (7f, AW) in December in these cheekpieces (which go back on today); not obviously well treated off this opening mark but he's shown speed and could prove well suited by this first crack at sprinting on handicap debut.
Fair efforts over 1m/7f on AW this spring on his first three starts; his dam was a useful sprinter and it's possible the drop in trip will be a positive on handicap debut; could go well for in-form yard.
Has been unable to recapture the promise of her debut third at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last June, but last month's fifth on handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she shaped as though today's drop back in trip could be a help; not ruled out.
Just one win from his 13 starts and inconsistent; however, that victory came over 6f at Doncaster last August and he returned to form with a very close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) recently; might not be far away.
Easily made all on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on April 21st; disappointing favourite under a penalty on April 28th and 29th and she's now 10lb higher than for her win, but a 23-day break may have helped and if rediscovering the Redcar form she'll have a major shout.
Close third at Newcastle (6f, AW) last November on second start and he's of interest on that form; last month's handicap debut at Ripon (6f, good) came after a break and he may have needed the run, but he was beaten a long way and it's hard to be optimistic after that performance.
0-8 but gelded earlier this spring and has shown improved form to be placed on his two runs since (6f, good to firm/AW); cheekpieces return (no obvious positive impact previously); a win could be imminent.
Runner-up in first-time hood (retained since) at Newcastle (5f, AW) in January on second start and filled same position there (6f) in February; open to further improvement and she's respected on her handicap and turf debut.
Runner-up on handicap/AW debut at Newcastle (6f) in March; down the field at Catterick (6f, good) since and he has something to prove on turf, but he's not written off in view of that promise two starts ago.
Placed over 6f on AW earlier this year and got off the mark in a first-time visor (retained since) at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March; however, well beaten at Musselburgh (5f, good) since and has to prove himself on grass.
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month on second handicap start and followed up at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); 4lb rise for last time isn't harsh and this progressive colt could still have more to offer.
Slowly away when fair third of five on handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago; kept on nicely and this step back up in trip very much looks the right move; one to consider.
