Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 25 starts but he's been knocking on the door at Thirsk and Lingfield (both 5f on good) in his last two runs; up another 2lb but he pulled clear with the winner last time and should make another bold bid.

J: Jack Callan

He has two impressive C&D wins on his record this winter; not at his best on his last two starts but he's not an easy horse to pass if breaking on terms; needs another personal best but it is not out of the question.

On a career-high mark but is difficult to dismiss, having recorded a clearcut win from the front over C&D on penultimate start; awkwardly away and unable to dominate at Lingfield latest.

9st 10lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Mark Loughnane

Back to form with a bang when blitzing his rivals at Wolverhampton last week, setting strong fractions and coming home 3.25l in front; 3lb well in under a penalty and he is better drawn today than when widest of all at Wolverhampton; effective over C&D; obvious chance.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who was only caught in the final strides on his Chepstow reappearance (5f, good to soft) in June; remains feasibly treated off 2lb higher but he could have competition for the lead this time and his best form has been on slow ground; hood added.

Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing a C&D handicap (4-1) last Monday; has a penalty back in a classified event but that was a comfortable success last time and all of his AW wins have come at this track; key player.

Form & Verdict
Finished fourth in the Dash on Derby day last June off a 34lb higher mark; has struggled this year but he attracted support at Nottingham (100-30 favourite) last time and he has too much ability to discount at this level; not ruled out on first run since rejoining Mike Murphy.

Without a win since scoring at Windsor (5f, good to soft; from 20lb higher) over 18 months ago; has been knocking at the door over this C&D in recent weeks, including when beaten a neck (Call Time third) on penultimate start; foolish to discount.

Form & Verdict
Both wins were in 2022 but she's run some good races this year and was best of the rest behind an easy winner at Bath (5.7f classified) last time; should get a strong pace back at this trip and she could be dangerous back in a handicap.

Landed a gamble over C&D 12 months ago (in this combination of accessories for the first time); ended 2025 quietly and he was well beaten on last month's return to action (no accessories); has plenty to prove but it wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue were he to revive.

Sole victory came first time up last season, back from a similar break, so has that in his favour; lost his way in 2025, however, and the usual hood and tongue-tie are both missing.
