Form & Verdict
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace.

Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW.

Form & Verdict
Both wins were in 2023 but she had some close calls in the autumn and ran another good race when third over C&D three weeks ago; 1lb lower here and she should be in the mix again.

Without a win since September 2023; second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) three starts ago and she's now 1lb lower, on a career-low mark; second or third on all three appearances over C&D, twice in small fields admittedly.

Last win was for Hugo Palmer at Newcastle (1m2f) in September 2023; plenty of placed efforts for this trainer, including when runner-up at Newcastle (12.5f; winner has won twice since) 19 days ago; others are better equipped for win purposes.

6 yo Colt

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
Has patchy record under both codes, but he won by 4l over C&D in October and was a close second over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4f) three weeks ago; still unexposed as a stayer on the Flat and needs close look back in this sphere.

J: Hugh Horgan

Last month saw him get off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt, in a five-runner maiden over C&D; competitive on Flat either side of that but probably needs to raise his game a notch in this sphere; stable also runs Motazzen.

Exposed after 11 hurdle starts but ran commendably well when close third in valuable series final at Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) in April; returned from break with decent Flat run last month and has strong claims here.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who won at Wolverhampton (2m) in December and he's been beaten less than 2l there (1m6f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and shouldn't be far away.

J: Clifford Lee

T: Ewan Whillans

Confirmed hold-up performer who is now at the veteran stage, but he is the only previous C&D winner in the field; failed to beat a rival here 11 days ago, but the return to 0-55 company is a positive and he should make his presence felt.

J: Greg Fairley

His Redcar win (2m, good to firm) in July came in a four-runner race; 16l behind Niffler when third at Newcastle (1m4f); better off at the weights today but lacks that rival's potential.

J: Jason Hart

T: Ewan Whillans

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
No win in his first 18 starts but he's won four of his last five including an apprentice handicap over C&D on Saturday; escapes a penalty for that success and he pulled 8l clear with the runner-up; major player again in his bid for a four-timer.

Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; he was returning from a three-month break when weakening over 2m at Catterick this month and drops back down in trip today, but he has to prove he's fully effective on turf.
