Prolific winner last year, when going almost two stone up the weights; struggled in three runs this season, though, and much will hinge on the first-time headgear, having pulled hard and hung right on turf last time.

Goes well at Lingfield; will be happier back on Polytrack but his last two wins came over 1m2f and whether this easy 1m will be enough of a test off a career-high mark is the question.

J: Darragh Keenan

A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance.

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.

His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground).
