Registered a first Flat win when scoring over C&D in January and it was a creditable effort when chasing home St Faz at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) six days ago; work to do if he's to turn the tables but still one of the more likely ones.

Not the best of win records (1-26 but 0-10 on turf); only win was over 1m2f on AW back in 2023; sound third at Pontefract with first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance last month (1m4f, good to soft); stays 1m6f but below her best three previous tries at 2m.

Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023.

Bumper winner and a fair maiden hurdler; 0-6 on the Flat but he was a good third in a Chelmsford handicap (1m6f) in February and the drop to back to 8.6f looked against him at Wolverhampton last time; should get a good tow into this race and he could be dangerous back up in trip.
