Has a much better strike-rate on AW than on grass; soundly beaten off his lower turf mark returned to this sphere last time; opposed.

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

Won a four-runner race at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) as a 3yo, but all five wins since have come on the AW; rated 9lb lower on grass but still hard to warm to on a rare turf appearance.

Inconsistent this season but caught wide when fifth at Chester last time and prior to that he was an easy winner over this C&D (good to firm); both wins have come at this venue and he's not ruled out.

J: David Probert

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Front-running tactics in the new blinkers didn't work two runs ago but he had cover before coming home 7l clear at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); up 7lb but clear claims should he deliver something similar.

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Gained sole win here last June and beaten a neck over C&D late last month; front-running with first-time blinkers (retained today) at Carlisle five days ago did not work out but he needs a second look on return to Leicester.

Won by a short head at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in June and followed up by a neck in first-time cheekpieces at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); fifth of six at Nottingham (1m1f, good to firm) since but finished close up and it's possible the switch to blinkers will eke out something extra.

Sahm Naif

9st 11lb

J: George Wood

T: James Horton

Comes here chasing a hat-trick after narrow 1m2f wins on fast ground at Beverley and Redcar (cheekpieces first time); a 6lb penalty for the latter success (on Sunday) asks a stiffer question, but he could enjoy the run of the race and looks the one to beat.

Held on narrowly at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last time, opening his account at the fifth attempt; may build on that win and improve further, provided he takes to first-time headgear; shortlisted.
