J: Charles Bishop

Some fair turf form for Brian Meehan, but despite plummeting in the weights has shown little in three AW starts for this yard, failing to beat a rival over 7f here in January; cheekpieces given a go, but some way down the stable's pecking order.

Yet to fire for his new yard but he met some traffic issues when last of eight in 7f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; he was a fair 7f winner at his best for Brian Meehan so possibilities on his first go on Polytrack.

Alfa Whiteburd

9st 8lb

J: David Nolan

T: Ivan Furtado

Well handicapped on peak form and his midfield finish at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, on first run after wind surgery, was encouraging; he has a higher mark to contend with back on AW but this represents a drop in class and he shouldn't be underestimated.

Far from solid on his form for current yard, raced mostly over 6f and yet to win on turf; enough to prove in this scenario; had wind surgery (his second) since last run.

C&D winner who followed a good C&D second on his return in April with a below-par sixth in 7f Carlisle handicap last month; not the easiest to predict but he goes very well here so needs considering.

Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023.

Landed 7f maiden here last July; off ten months and has failed to kick on sent handicapping this season, again going freely when last of six at Lingfield (7.5f) 13 days ago; could still do better if becoming more tractable.

Not a straightforward customer but he has plenty of ability for one operating at this level; back to form with a second of eight over 5f here eight weeks ago; no problem with the sixth furlong and he is more appealing than many.

J: Jonny Peate

T: Gary Hanmer

Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries.

No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone.
