Form & Verdict
Seven-time sprint winner who handles most ground; just one success since August 2023 but he ran well to finish third in a Class 4 over C&D last month and is respected on this drop back in grade.

Prolific winner who showed more back on Tapeta last time, when drawn wide and inclined to hang right at Wolverhampton; remains pretty consistent and is on a competitive mark, so there are positives.

Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this.

Form & Verdict
4yo who recorded her fourth win when justifying support at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but she was as good as ever last time and is versatile ground-wise; key player for in-form yard.

J: Sean Kirrane

Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Only 1lb higher than for his Newmarket win (6f, good) last August but has mixed record since and was a remote last of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month; now drops in trip but he needs to bounce back again and others are more convincing; first-time visor replaces a hood.

Sole win from 21 starts came at Newmarket (6f, good) in August 2024; also posted a couple of decent placed efforts last August but ended 2025 on a low note and off for ten months ahead of this reappearance; a watching brief is the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D maiden (soft) last August; well held in nurseries in final two 2yo runs but he reappeared with a good fourth over C&D in May and built on that when going close at Chester (6f, good) last month; still has potential as a sprint handicapper and he looks interesting off an unchanged mark.

Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable.

Has useful pedigree but was disappointing in the second of his two runs for Charlie Appleby and he made a low-key start for new yard at Hamilton last month; still early days but he needs a transformation back at this trip on handicap debut.

Beat 16 rivals when scoring from off the pace at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in April; three placed efforts since but he flopped when favourite at Musselburgh last time and that took his record to 1-16; comes with risks attached back up in trip.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Often promised better as a 3yo; ran well over C&D on his reappearance in April and confirmed that promise by seeing off 16 rivals here eight days later; his progress has stalled more recently but it wouldn't be a great surprise to see him return to form back at Musselburgh.

Form & Verdict
Nine-time winner, including two over C&D; well handicapped on best form last season but has mixed record in Ireland this year and she's been out of sorts in last three runs; has questions to answer and she wouldn't want the ground to dry out.

J: Mohammed Tabti

T: Iain Jardine

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.
