J: William Carver

T: Jamie Osborne

Debut second at Brighton was promising but he hasn't progressed since, including when 11th of 14 on his nursery debut two weeks ago (7f, AW; blinkered first time); dropped 4lb but others look more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Made all for a decisive C&D novice win in December; possibly a bit too free when turned over as favourite at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) next time but went close back here (5f) latest, when the front pair were clear; up 2lb for last time but unexposed and a major player.

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Dylan Cunha

Front-runner who was sixth of 18 to Naana's Shadow at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) and has been placed at Pontefract either side of that (5f, good to firm; most recently on Sunday); back into a more competitive race today but this track should suit his style and he has an each-way chance.

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Dylan Cunha

Front-runner who was overhauled by Badri when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month and he again ran well when sixth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm); this is less competitive; he can make a bold bid.

9st 9lb

J: Pat Dobbs

T: Dylan Cunha

Front-running winner of two AW races for this yard, at 6f and 5f; 0-9 on turf but he had big tasks either side of a break and he's likely to find this sharp test more to his liking than the one at Pontefract 13 days ago, when he was headed only near the line; likely to give a punchy show.

J: Saffie Osborne

Narrowly landed a C&D maiden a year ago, but failed to beat a rival on his return from 111 days off at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) in February and has been off another seven months since; has enough to prove for now.
