8st 6lb

J: William Cox

T: Brian Ellison

Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; better form this season when third of 22 to Mezcala in the Spring Mile at same track (good to soft) and close third at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days ago, but he's edging back up the weights.

J: Cam Hardie

T: Brian Ellison

Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; underlined how well he operates on Town Moor with a good third of 22 in the Spring Mile (good to soft) on reappearance in March; claims if he can reproduce that sort of form at Chester (first visit).

J: Conor Whiteley

T: Brian Ellison

Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double that took his overall record at Doncaster to 3-3; acts on any going and has been very competitive (223) in 1m races on turf; respected kept to this track.

9st 6lb

J: Ben Robinson

T: Brian Ellison

It's a long time since he's won and he was only fifth of nine at Newcastle (7f, AW) four weeks ago, but he's gone close on each of his last three turf starts (1m, soft/good) and he could be bang there now back on grass.

9st 13lb

J: Shay Farmer

T: Brian Ellison

Had wind surgery in June and it has had a positive effect judged on some near-misses on turf this summer; not at his best here (1m) on penultimate start but this is weaker and he looks set to go well.
