J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

His only race on firmer than good was on debut, when runner-up; sole win came in a 1m Ffos Las maiden as 3yo; that's from nine races and despite being favourite in his last five handicaps but all three starts this season (1m2f, 1m and 1m1f; never nearer at evens last time) confirmed that he is well capable of being seriously involved.

J: Clifford Lee

T: William Haggas

Sole win in 1m Ffos Las maiden as 3yo; beaten favourite in last four handicaps but soft and heavy ground no help in 2025 and he's performed with credit against rivals with potential this season, over 1m2f at Newbury and 1m at Sandown (both on good; probably effective on soft); solid chance at this intermediate trip for yard with 34% strike-rate here, 10-29.

Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths.

J: Mason Paetel

Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited.

Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected.

J: Cam Hardie

T: Antony Brittain

All three wins were 1m2f on Newcastle AW last October-December; his three races this year suggest that the handicapper has caught up; this is also only his third race on turf, having twice been towards rear last June, so he has a bit to prove on this first run since his second wind surgery.

Has been around the block and mostly seen on the AW these days; he did win on debut for this yard at Ripon (1m, good; by a head) but then finished last at Sandown four days ago; unplaced in one previous run here.

Probably better known for his AW exploits nowadays but he led close home to cause 28-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m, good), his ninth career success; nudged up only 1lb for that and is a rare runner here for his Middleham-based trainer; respected.

Had slipped in the weights before winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July, and he ran at least as well over 1m at York next time; should be thereabouts again.

Mr Seagull

J: David Probert

T: Hugo Palmer

He's yet to pose a serious threat this season but has run some respectable races, as when keeping on from the rear for fifth at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and this big-field scenario and expected strong pace could see him to good effect; interesting.

Mr Seagull

J: Jamie Spencer

His narrow debut success in August hasn't been added to in six subsequent starts, including in three handicaps this term, latterly at 10.5f; drops in trip from a reduced mark but others have more compelling claims.
