J: Kevin Stott

T: George Scott

Runaway winner of four-runner novice at Catterick (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) last August; had wind surgery in November and a clearcut win when favourite for seven-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; should stay and 6lb rise doesn't look harsh; well related and could easily have more to offer, so the hat-trick beckons.

J: Patrick Wadge

Useful Flat racer who is still unexposed over hurdles and was close second in Perth handicap (2m, good) on latest outing two months ago; only 2lb higher here and ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Course winner who is fine on slow ground and continues to drop down the weights; however, he's been regressive in the last two seasons and was tailed off here recently when the tongue-tie/cheekpieces were first applied.

Shadow Dance

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Rebecca Menzies

No ground worries but his career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) were in 2024, including a win in this race; 6lb lower today but that's after a rather muted 2025 when still with Roger Varian and his form went badly the wrong way in three runs this January-April for new connections; tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, both fitted for the first time, need to work the oracle.

Hurdles winner for this yard; resumed Flat career with close third at Thirsk (1m4f) on handicap debut in this sphere last month and justified strong support when narrowly beating Cruden over this trip at Goodwood (also good) a fortnight ago; unexposed and the best is probably yet to come.

Two 1m4f wins at Lingfield (AW) this year; he has run creditably in defeat off this mark on his last four starts but he will need extra to overcome it; untried on slower than good to soft.

Two wins this year over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack, dictating the pace on second occasion; good third at Kempton (also 1m4f on Polytrack) on latest start, which gives him each-way claims if it's transferred to Tapeta.

Big improvement on his second start when a runaway winner of Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) last November; well below that level in a 1m4f Southwell novice and 1m2f Sandown handicap on return; the Sandown run was only six days ago and he's back out again quickly with a tongue-tie added.

J: Cam Hardie

T: K R Burke

Best ratings on no worse than good to soft, although he did win on heavy in 2024; 1m6f winner (unraced beyond that) last September on his only visit to this track; that was the second leg of a double, following a series of places, but he's not been nearly so potent this season and is 5lb out of the handicap today.

J: Toby Moore

T: K R Burke

First leg of a quick-fire double when winning this (good; visored) last year off 2lb lower and it was a fairly close third back over C&D (good to soft) three weeks later; hasn't matched that form on his last three starts, most recently in cheekpieces, but he needs a second look back at Haydock in the reapplied visor.

Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D last October; he hasn't been at the top of his game on his last four starts, including here on his penultimate run, but he can't be ruled out at a venue he clearly relishes.

Inconsistent sort who was a soundly beaten third at Musselburgh recently; however, he won at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June and ran well in third over this C&D (good to firm) in July; acts on any ground and might not be far away if he's on a going day.
