Knight Frank Eastern Counties Handicap Stakes (GBBPlus Race)

Minhad won three starts back and was fourth last time out, keeping him in decent heart ahead of this return; he has experience of today's going and, carrying 142 lb off a 34-day break, looks primed for a bold showing.

Percy Shelley arrives here on the back of a string of placed efforts, including seconds three, four and five starts back, and our ratings just about edge him ahead of his rivals — yet to score in recent starts, and that sixth last time out is the obvious concern.

High Fibre has been winless in his last five starts, but that third last time out shows he retains ability, and his experience over today's going is a clear asset — the main risk is whether he can sustain that level after a patchy run of results.

Placed second last time out and third five starts back, Imperial Sovereign arrives on the back of a solid recent run, with experience of today's trip and going lending him strong claims at 135 lb — though he remains winless in recent starts, which is the concern.

Winless in her last four starts, Koala Rose has placed consistently — seconds two of her last three outings — yet our rating puts her last of five here, suggesting she may not have enough to reverse that trend, though she handles today's going and arrives on a sharp 20-day turnaround.
