Three of his five wins have come over C&D, including a division of this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not shone yet this winter and he arrives with a bit to prove.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Mark Loughnane

Three-time course winner (1m6f) but he's been out of sorts in his last five runs and latest was at this track three weeks ago; has something to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Mark Loughnane

Kept on well to score off this mark at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) in July and also has a soft-ground success on his record but both runs last month were below par and conditions are probably not ideal for him today.

Form & Verdict
10yo who was below his best on AW when last seen 219 days ago; cheekpieces which have been worn for his last three wins, including this race last year off 3lb higher, are now removed; better is needed on his return.

Five turf wins, most recently at Ffos Las (1m6f, good to soft; other wins on good or quicker) in July 2024; suffered two heavy defeats this year but refitting regular cheekpieces could make a difference.

Five wins include two on this course, over 1m4f (good) and 1m6f (good to soft); handicapper has given him a chance and he should come on for a remote third of four here in July following a layoff; form chance.

Form & Verdict
10yo who returned to some form when third of eight here over 2m nine days ago; drop in trip looks sure to suit but he is without a win in over three years; claims if he's able to back that up.

Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D.

Hard to predict and was out the back at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago but he finished runner-up over hurdles at Chepstow (2m) last month and his last Flat win was off this mark (1m6f, good) last summer; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear.

J: David Probert

T: Bernard Llewellyn

Won a weak four-runner handicap at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) under David Probert in July but mostly poor form under both codes since; appeared to take a step back in the right direction when second over hurdles last time and Probert is back in the saddle for the first time since that win.

Form & Verdict
Three-time winner from 28 starts; beaten 11l behind an easy winner when third of six at Chelmsford over 1m6f in May but failed to build on that at Bath (1m4f, firm) on her next start 56 days ago; back up in trip with better needed.

J: Millie Wonnacott

Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot.

In-form mare whose record at Bath features wins in 2024/2025 and a couple of second-place finishes (over 11.6f/1m2f) since returned to turf from AW, the penultimate occasion behind Moon Over The Sea; weighted to reverse the placings; good chance.

Below her best on the AW this winter but she returned to some form when runner-up here at around 1m4f on Monday; that was her first start for 77 days and this dual course winner should have no issue with the drop back in trip.
