Although he is still to get off the mark and has been beaten as favourite in all three of his runs this term, Lohoobb could be worth keeping the faith in as he drops back to this 6f trip. He hasn't been completely disgraced in his recent outings but could be capable of better and may still be learning with experience.
Last term, the son of Too Darn Hot shaped with promise in novice and events over this distance and the drop back a furlong could see him to better effect. He's out of a Listed winner in Zoowraa, a daughter of Listed-winning Beraysim, and is a half-brother to two black-type achievers including Maamora.
There could be further progression to come from Lohoobb, who could be worth keeping onside for Owen Burrows and Callum Rodriguez.

Night Of Thunder colt Midsummer Storm has shaped with some promise in three starts in maiden and novice company to date, including at Nottingham when last seen. He finished fourth that day behind Lighting Thunder, now rated 89, with subsequent seven-length winner Romanticizing, now rated 94, in second.
Despite being unable to land a blow on the pair, he shaped with some potential and could find better luck down the handicap route from a low opening mark of 74, receiving the weight-for-age allowance against his elders here.
A €550,000 breeze up buy, the three-year-old is out of 7f winner Last Waltz, who was narrowly denied at Group Three level. He's a half-brother to three winners including Sweet Harmony, who once finished fourth in the Rockfel Stakes, and could be capable of showing plenty of further progression on handicap debut for Karl Burke.

Three-year-old filly Seeing Stars has already gained some valuable experience in handicaps and proven she is able to be competitive from a higher mark than her current rating of 68. She has finished third and fourth in two respective handicap appearances to date, performing with credit on both occasions, and could have more to come in only her seventh career start.
The daughter of Bated Breath shaped with promise in her first few outings, running consistently well in novice and maiden company with three second-place efforts preceding a maiden victory at Kempton in January. She had chased home the likes of now 80-rated Chantelle, when beaten only three-quarters-of-a-length by her at Wolverhampton, and Ellusive Butterfly, a subsequent Listed winner now rated 100.
The William Knight-trained contender still appears to be a work in progress but has put in a competitive effort in each appearance to date, making her a reliable performer who could be worth keeping onside. She's on a workable rating and could be capable of showing further progression in the hands of Oisin Murphy as she seeks a second career win.
Back Seeing Stars E/W 5 places in 19:00 Newbury
Experienced performer Noodle Mission could be worth supporting in what is his 30th career appearance for Edward Smyth-Osbourne and Alistair Rawlinson. He hasn't been seen to best effect in two outings so far this term, but has dropped to a mark of 74, 12lb below his last win and 2lb above his previous Turf success.
The six-year-old gelding is equipped with first-time blinkers in this 7f handicap, which could spark plenty of improvement. He has run well in first-time headgear previously when sporting cheekpieces at Kempton in September, and could be capable of a better showing that in his latest outings from a workable mark.

Experienced gelding I Am Spider Man has returned to form recently for trainer Barry John Murphy, following a disappointing spell, proving he still retains ability. He has achieved form figures of 223 since his disappointing yard debut at Ffos Las in April, and could be ready for a return to the winners' enclosure.
Having been knocking on the door of late, including over course-and-distance last month when beaten only half-a-length here by Supreme Yeats, the nine-year-old makes appeal under James Bowen, who has been aboard in his previous three outings. He holds solid claims in his current form, and could be able to strike from a mark of 100.
