Ran well over C&D last October and he was well backed when winning over 7f back here five days later; below his best at Chelmsford one day later; history doesn't suggest coming back from a break is the time to catch him.

Started 2025 with a bang, winning four handicaps (7f-8.6f) between January and March; mixed bag this summer but he returned to form with a clear second at Kempton (1m) last Friday and went one better there (7f) yesterday; this dual course winner would have be respected if running again today.

Three wins this year, the last two at Bath (1m/1m2f) in April; denied clear run before keeping on for fifth there (1m, good to firm) last month and may yet have more improvement to come; up in grade here but still enters calculations.

No win in her first 13 starts but she's won three of her last four including at Bath (1m/1m2f) in her last two runs; up 3lb for her narrow success last time but she's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player back down in trip.

J: Mason Paetel

T: Mark Hoad

Four-time winner who made all under Mason Paetel in this race (was 2lb higher) last year for Ed Dunlop; very respectable third on stable debut at Lingfield in May and soft ground may have blunted his finishing effort last time; interesting.

Front-runner who gave good account when placed behind King's Hand over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; that run came after a layoff and he remains on a good mark; handles good to soft (unraced on anything slower); no surprise if he makes a bold bid.

Four respectable efforts in handicaps following her maiden win at Leicester (1m, good to soft) last October; ran well when third here (1m) last month and she now drops into 0-70 company; wide draw not ideal for one who likes to race handily.

Leicester maiden (good to soft) winner in October but she's been stuck in third place since, including when she came up against Blues And Royals at Kempton (again 1m, AW) three weeks ago; should give her running while finding one or two stronger again.

Closely related to winners Beyond Equal (5f-6f including AW; RPR 98) and Sarsaparilla (6f 2yo; 76) and half-brother to five winners, including Simmy's Temple (US 1m including turf 2yo stakes) and Bridget's View (7f AW 2yo; 80); stable won this with the smart Ten Bob Tony in 2023, although not first time out; would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Bitterly disappointing given the promise he showed on debut at two but could pick up a small race; pulled his chance away latest and dropping back in trip looks a wise move.

0-13 but he ran well to finish third of 11 on his Lingfield reappearance (7.6f, good) last month and the return to this trip can only be a positive on the pick of last year's form; high on list.
