Verdict

PRIDE OF NEPAL is taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Knightmare is one of few others who arrive in form. Olivia Jane and The Pug have been the subject of potentially significant trainer changes and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in their favour.

1	Went a while without a win but now on a hat-trick after 1¼m victories at Windsor and Lingfield (both good to firm) at the end of May. A further 3 lb rise may not stop him in current mood. 1st Pick 1 Pride Of Nepal Jockey: Miss Sarah Bowen Trainer: Tony Carroll J: Miss Sarah Bowen T: Tony Carroll	100	-	-	-	50%

8	Remains a maiden after 17 starts but placed in Bath handicap over this trip and a Wolverhampton classified event over 8.6f on his last 2 outings. Likely to be in the shake-up. 2nd Pick 8 Knightmare (Ire) Jockey: Miss Amy Tucker Trainer: David Evans J: Miss Amy Tucker T: David Evans	95	-	-	-	19%

7	Promise initially for Clive Cox as a juvenile but went the wrong way over hurdles/on Flat for Oliver Signy last year. The subject of an interesting trainer change, though, and needs checking out in the betting back from 10 months off with first-time blinkers added. 3rd Pick 7 Olivia Jane (Ire) Jockey: Miss Lily Jones Trainer: Nick Scholfield J: Miss Lily Jones T: Nick Scholfield	93	-	-	-	3%
