Clean Bowled has rattled up four straight wins in claiming company since February but looks worth taking on back in a handicap, while Bareback couldn't cope when upped in class last time and was all out to get his head in front at Kempton before that. HIKMA got off the mark in a maiden over C&D earlier this month and, with further progress expected on her handicap bow, the Street Cry filly can follow-up here. Beauchamp Castle steps up a grade having scored on her handicap debut at Kempton and makes more appeal than Samasana, who recorded her recent hat-trick on the Fibresand at Southwell.
