Just Bring It (Ire)

Opened his account on 1m Kempton reappearance in March. Got stuck in the mud at Nottingham next time and back on the up when second of 11 at Newmarket (1m, good) last weekend. That looks solid form and he merits plenty of respect for a stable with a good recent record in this.

Defence Of Fort (Ire)

Looked useful prospect when winning novice at Ascot (7f, firm) on debut last summer. Wasn't able to build on that at Group 3 level in 2 subsequent starts, although heavy ground a possible excuse at Newbury latterly. Retains potential now handicapping on return. Has been gelded.

James Mchenry

Drew a blank in 4 starts at 2 but has very much hit the ground running on return, winning handicaps at Ripon and over C&D. Useful performance when coming from further back than ideal to lead late on here latterly. Even a further 7 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making bold bid for the hat-trick.

All 3 outings at over 7f, winning a novice at Newmarket on final one in November. Pitched into a hot race on handicap debut/reappearance but his yard's good form provides hope for better again this year.
