Marine Lodge Handicap

Won last time out just eight days ago and already proven over today's trip and going, this mare is our top-rated runner here, backed by a solid speed figure; a couple of flat efforts at the start of this spell are the only blemish.

Yet to score in his last five starts, this gelding boasts a strong speed figure and switches to first-time cheekpieces for a possible turnaround, having raced over today's trip and going before. A 41-day absence and a run of modest finishes remain the obvious worries.

Finished runner-up four starts back and fully at home over today's trip and going, this gelding has the form to play a role. Yet to score in his last five starts, though, and untried for 41 days, those gaps are the main reservations.

A winner three starts back, this gelding has been unplaced last time and finds it harder to make the frame since, though he has raced over today's trip and going before and steps up in first-time cheekpieces. Recapturing that earlier level looks the key question.

Yet to win in her last five starts, this mare did finish runner-up last time out, 28 days ago over today's trip and going. The earlier form in that sequence was modest, but the improved latest effort offers some encouragement.
