Form & Verdict
Exposed 9yo but made a solid start for this yard when second over C&D (good to firm) and he was close up at Nottingham (5f, good) last Tuesday even though last of four; acts on good to soft, with possibly more to prove these days on soft; wore cheekpieces once (2021) and now tries blinkers.

11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied.

No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance.

J: Marco Ghiani

Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular.

Form & Verdict
3yo who readily made all on handicap debut at Yarmouth in June off 8lb lower and he was beaten a head off this mark when wearing first-time cheekpieces back at Yarmouth (again 5f on good; unraced on softer) last Wednesday, again making the running; major chance if today's ground is okay.

Runner-up three times this winter (including twice over C&D), but he was disappointing after another slow start at Chelmsford last month; needs to bounce back and he's now 0-13 since his sole win last June.

Form & Verdict
Won three in quick succession on soft/heavy last autumn, latterly off 1lb higher than today; they were 6f, at which he's sparked only once from four starts this year, but he needs a close look if there's been a downpour.

All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when dead-heating at Lingfield (5f, AW) in April; not seen since a lesser run 11 days later; probably no ground worries and he ran well in 2023 after a break, but the last of his six turf wins was three years ago.

Has run well fresh in the past but is knocking on and may need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days and is drawn low, so has a bit to overcome.

Dangerous when he can get to the front early as was the case when a close third last week at Lingfield (AW); worrying that he's been well held in three previous runs here.

Often makes the running, but was held up from his wide draw when disappointing over C&D 15 days ago; back off the same mark as when dead-heating here in April and drawn well if reverting to positive tactics; stable also runs Gogo Yubari.

Form & Verdict
Last of his three wins (45 races) was in August 2023; not far away on his last four starts this January-March and he's gone well after a break before; with no ground worries, he could be a contender.
