Form & Verdict
Runner-up on soft as 2yo; fortunes this season turned markedly at Chester (good) last time when he led final 1f for a 4l win as 7-4 favourite; 7lb higher today and while he's respected on the back of a clear career best, he did look particularly well suited by the 2m at Chester.

Form & Verdict
Won 9.4f AW novice last year; good third in a Doncaster novice (1m4f, good) in July and left Sir Michael Stoute for 82,000gns one week later; plenty about pedigree and performance is encouraging for 1m6f and his fifth of eight at Newmarket (good) 19 days ago was creditable in form terms but he clearly needs to improve on that; after only four starts, it may well be possible.

Form & Verdict
Sole win was handicap debut last August; mostly consistent form since, bar his only run on soft (acts on good to soft) and there was also a slight dip at York four weeks ago when he tried 2m for the first time; blinkered last two starts and now tries a visor; 4lb lower than on reappearance but others are a bit more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Running well this term at 1m6f and 2m; had to run from out of the weights proper in the Ebor at York last time and has an 8lb lower mark today; tailed off (last October on good to soft) on his only start on softer than good; dropped in class and should be a major player if the ground is okay.

Form & Verdict
Lots of 2020 and 2021 form on AW reads very well and he also won a conditions stakes this January; three lesser efforts have followed but he had wind surgery two months before his ninth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle on latest outing, where he disputed the lead over 2f out and was not disgraced; has a 7lb lower mark today but more to prove on turf.

Nine AW wins, the most recent in this event 12 months ago when it was still a conditions race; has slipped to an attractive mark but the veteran has a doubt over current form, having posted two duck eggs this year; perhaps on the wane.

Really smart on AW earlier in his career; wasn't beaten that far when sixth of 19 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last summer but he's been below that level in three AW starts this winter.

Form & Verdict
Record of 3-5 on AW compared to just 1-12 on turf (raced only once, in 2020, on softer than good); tongue tied on last two starts; edging down the weights, however, and plenty of 2022 form on AW and turf brings him into the equation.

Form & Verdict
Record at this track has been dented in the last three years; won at Nottingham (1m6f) in April but out of form in his four starts since; latest was over an inadequate 1m2f and he's back to his last winning mark; ground softer than good would give him more to prove.
