Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration.

Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-8; not beaten far when fourth of six at 66-1 at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last June on her stable debut and sole outing of the season, but she's back from another absence today and it may be best to look elsewhere; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Low-mileage 4yo who ended last season with a success in first-time blinkers (1m2f, good); gives the impression this new trip is worth exploring; interesting with Newbury reappearance under his belt.

Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade.

J: Harry Vigors

T: Ben Haslam

Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge.
