J: Toby Moore

Second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 4lb lower; three wins this year, the latest a runaway success at Brighton last month, but his progress has stalled on his last two starts; needs to raise his game again.

Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; back-to-back wins over the extended 5f at Brighton this summer, the latter by a wide margin under Jude Fernandes this month; below-form third turned out under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) four days later and another 4lb higher now.

Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty.

Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer.

J: Jack Mitchell

All eight wins over this trip on various ground and was ending a 17-race losing run when making all and just holding on to beat Darkened Edge by a head over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 2lb but could still be dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead.

On a long losing sequence but recent form includes a couple of encouraging efforts and he did too much up front when fifth of six at Brighton (5f) 19 days ago; needs considering eased 1lb.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

Placed three times from seven starts since returned to turf in May; no match for easy winner when second over C&D (good to firm) last month and remains well below the best of last year's form but still has possibilities; often wears cheekpieces but goes in refitted blinkers today.

Consistent and likes it here; 7lb better off with Secret Handsheikh than when second to him over C&D this month but has spent most of his career running in lesser company and is currently weighted to his best; faded late over 6f here on Sunday.

Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away.

His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted.

9st 9lb

J: Nicola Currie

Made all at Windsor in the summer and again sat on the pace when winning from the same draw over C&D three weeks ago (hung left as usual); settled better without the cheekpieces that night and has claims but a 7lb rise looks plenty.

Made all at Windsor off 2lb lower in July, before going off too hard in front at the same course next time; cheekpieces have helped but there's other pace in here from a wide enough stall on his Tapeta debut.

11th race brought his first win, when making all from stall 5 in 11-runner race over C&D (good to firm; at 11-1) three weeks ago under Taryn Langley; back up 3lb but inconsistency is the chief worry.
