Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player.

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player.

J: Myla Coppins

T: Tony Carroll

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected.

Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot.

In-form mare whose record at Bath features wins in 2024/2025 and a couple of second-place finishes (over 11.6f/1m2f) since returned to turf from AW, the penultimate occasion behind Moon Over The Sea; weighted to reverse the placings; good chance.

Contrasting efforts over C&D on last two starts, finishing a respectable third to Moon Over The Sea then below-par fifth to Virtual Hug; still a maiden and his chance of finally winning partly depends on the effects of first-time eyeshield.
