1lb lower than for his last win; two runs back from wind surgery haven't been his best and he is taking on some potential improvers today.

Close third in this in 2024 and he enhanced a good C&D record when winning last year's edition (good to firm) from this mark; placed on his next four starts and had a soft-ground excuse on final start that term; had wind surgery ahead of a quiet comeback at Newbury three weeks ago but no surprise if this day has been ringed in his calendar.

T: Charles Hills

Won three times at 1m2f (good/good to firm) in her time with Mark Walford and Brian Toomey last year; encouraging start at 1m4f for this yard and first-time blinkers worked a little too well when a still-respectable fourth of 15 at Newbury (good) a fortnight ago; can do better wearing that aid for the second time.

Bagged three 1m2f turf handicaps last April-July for other yards and started well for her new handler with two 1m4f seconds this winter; two lesser displays have followed, however, and she now wears headgear first time.

Six time winner who won three in a row in January/February and he ran another good race when third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; won on turf last summer but that was off a much lower mark and he needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere.

Had no answer when the heavily backed favourite loomed large over 1m here two weeks ago but she was attempting to give him a stone and did well to stick on for second; fancied to cope with this drop in trip.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: David Menuisier

Chased home a subsequent Listed winner at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in August but disappointed in October after a break; plugged on without threatening when fifth at Nottingham on her reappearance in April and she'll need to tap back into that Salisbury promise to make an impact on this handicap debut; newly fitted hood might help, though.

Finished closer each time in his three-race 2yo career and met trouble in running when fourth of nine at Haydock (1m, good) on final outing, looking on an even keel only very late in the day when running on well; gelded the following day; highly likely to stay and he's a fascinating handicap newcomer who needs a close look for any strength behind him in the betting.

Ran to a similar level in two starts last year for David Menuisier (1m, soft/good to soft) and posted an improved effort despite not getting the best of runs in a handicap at Newbury (1m2f, good) 25 days ago on her second start for this stable; unexposed and looks a big player.

Eye-catcher from the rear at Ascot (1m, soft) in the first of two outings as 2yo for David Menuisier; 80-1 for new yard (same owner) on reappearance in maiden at Newbury (1m, good) four weeks ago and raced far too freely held up in rear, before some headway into mid-division; an interesting handicap newcomer but with plenty to learn, including if she's to stay 1m2f.
