J: Harry Vigors

T: Ralph Beckett

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb lower mark; as good as ever when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, Listed) in March but has found it tougher going since; apprentice's claim is useful but he still has little margin for error off this mark.

Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures.

T: Tom Clover

His impressive Newmarket success last May saw him hit hard by the handicapper and he hasn't added to it; chasing home Sondad at Epsom (6f, soft) in June represented his best run of the year but he failed to build on it at Windsor last time; others look safer.

Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again.

Nosed ahead in the final strides at York (7f) last time, ending a two-year losing spell and showing he retains plenty of ability aged eight; back up just 2lb he remains well treated on historical data; won the Thirsk Hunt Cup over C&D in 2023; should remain competitive.

High-class handicapper at 7f/1m; winless since landing a valuable 7f handicap at Ascot in July 2024 but he is now 7lb lower and he retains plenty of ability; should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind him; bold bid expected as he attempts to win this race for a second time.

Unraced at two but he scored twice around this trip on turf as a 3yo; built on his Chester comeback in May with neck second of 14 in fairly valuable Newcastle handicap (7f, AW) one month ago; that wasn't far off his best and he may still be capable of better; respected.

Useful on his day and has a record of 2-3 over C&D, notably a success off current mark in this year's Thirsk Hunt Cup; not particularly solid on form elsewhere since but the return to this scenario may have a positive effect; not dismissed.

Has done well for this yard, in handicaps from 6f to 1m; he wasn't beaten far in a big field at York two runs ago after hitting some traffic and the winner (favourite) got first run on him when closing fast in a recent claimer at Chester (front two dominated); good chance off this mark back in a handicap, especially with Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb.
