Dereham
DEREHAM showed enough to suggest plenty of his ability remains when fourth on his Yarmouth reappearance and is taken to build on that and win this for the fourth time in the last 5 years. Vilaine Verlaine proved her stamina for 2m when runner-up at Kempton last time and can fill the forecast spot.

Consistent stayer who had lots to spare when winning this race for a third time last year. A reappearance fourth at Yarmouth (1¾m, good) should have put him spot on for another bold bid in this contest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth1m 6f 17yGoodFlat4/6Pontefract2m 1f 27yGood to SoftFlatpu/7Ripon2mGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/7Yarmouth1m 6f 17yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/7Newmarket (july)2mGood to FirmFlat1/7- 1(4)Vilaine VerlaineJ: Alicia PerkinsT: Mark Usher250-602Age 410/310/33/1

Struggled in 2 comeback outings this spring but put those behind her when second of 8 in 2m Kempton handicap 16 days ago, looking suited to the longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat2/8Newbury1m 4fGoodFlat13/15Doncaster1m 2f 43yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/6Sandown Park1m 1f 209yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat10/10Newbury1m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat5/12- 4(1)BetelgeuseJ: Billy LoughnaneT: S.

Wide-margin winner at Southwell in October and returned with good runner-up efforts there in April. Not in same form back on turf at Yarmouth twice since, though. Needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth1m 6f 17yGood to FirmFlat3/3Yarmouth1m 6f 17yGoodFlat5/6Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat2/5Southwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat2/8Southwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat5/6- 2(5)Now The EagleJ: Ryan KavanaghT: Luke Dace7-81227Age 44/14/17/2

Gained breakthrough success at Kempton (2m) in April and bettered that form when second back there on next 2 outings. Might have found the run coming too soon after only 5 days off when well held on turf at Newbury since.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2mGood to FirmFlat7/8Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat2/11Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat2/8Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat1/9Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat8/8- 3(3)Prince QuattroJ: Mason PaetelT: James Owen3775424Age 74/14/19/2

Kept very busy on all-weather over the winter, including winning a handicap over 1¾m at Southwell in January. Off 3 months. Has done most of his Flat racing on an artificial surface but is a 4-time hurdle winner so turf shouldn't be an issue.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat4/4Lingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat2/7Wolverhampton2m 120yStandardFlat4/5Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat5/9Lingfield Park1m 5fStandardFlat7/12
