Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick this time last year for Charlie Wallis, including over C&D and latterly off a 5lb higher mark; well drawn for a potential front-runner; expensive to follow of late but no surprise to see him bounce back on this first run for his new yard.

Nine-time winner; good runs few and far between in 2025 and he made a low-key return to action over C&D two weeks ago; revival not out of the question but others look safer.

Her three wins have all come in the winter, two over C&D, and she's been threatening round here lately; more likely than not to miss the break and she'll need luck from the outside stall, but is capable if things fall her way.
