Qitaal
The C&D race QITAAL finished second to Yermanthere looks the key piece of form here, with the Charlie Johnston inmate tentatively selected to reverse the form. 3-y-o Wild Violet is at a different stage of her career and is a potential improver in handicaps.

Similar form all 3 starts, shedding maiden status at Salisbury over this trip a month ago. Opening mark isn't obviously generous but she's not yet exposed.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSalisbury1m 1f 201yGoodFlat1/6Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat2/6Newmarket (rowley)1m 2fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/7- 2(6)QitaalJ: Connor BeasleyT: Charlie Johnston7425233Age 711/45/23/1

On a losing run but turned in his best effort of the season dropped in grade when second of 7 in a C&D handicap last month. Cast aside a lesser effort at Beverley when third at Ayr 2 weeks ago and this is a slight drop in class.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr1m 2fGoodFlat3/10Beverley1m 1f 207yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/5Ripon1m 1f 170yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/7Hamilton Park1m 1f 35yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat5/8Leicester1m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/6- 3(3)YermanthereJ: David AllanT: Tim Easterby55-0512Age 83/13/111/4

Snapped a long losing run when winning 7-runner C&D handicap last month, well served by the sound gallop and beating Qitaal by a head. Sound second at Pontefract 11 days later and he can remain very competitive.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract1m 2f 5yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/8Ripon1m 1f 170yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7Carlisle1m 1fSoftFlat5/11Beverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat10/11Wetherby2mSoftHurdle7/14- 1(2)Midnight StrikeJ: Silvestre De SousaT: Jennie Candlish0-00081Age 415/215/28/1

Useful at his peak in Ireland. Struggled to get competitive in handicaps and made the most of a big drop in grade fitted with headgear when landing 3-runner seller at Beverley 2 weeks ago. Needs to improve on that level in a deeper race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley1m 100yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/3York1m 2f 56yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/14York7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat17/19Chester7f 1yGoodFlat11/11Chester7f 1yGoodFlat13/13- 5(1)Lucky HeroJ: Mark WinnT: David O'Meara238-104Age 39/110/18/1

Got off the mark in 5-runner novice at Redcar on return in April (7f) but unable to continue the good work in a pair of handicaps since.

Veteran who capitalised on a career-low mark in good style over C&D in May and added a 9f Musselburgh win last month.
