10st 0lb |
Six-time C&D winner for John McConnell including this race in 2023 and 2024; modest efforts first two runs for this yard but is now 4lb below his last success and a big run would come as no surprise. |

9st 7lb |
Six-time winner on the AW; back from nearly a year off the track when sixth of 13 here (7f) behind a couple of today's rivals on stable debut; yard's runners highly respected at this track and he's entitled to strip fitter; wide draw. |

9st 8lb |
Smart at his best, once had a rating of 110; nothing like the horse he was but has found plenty of excuses not to win as well; didn't fare that well on his claimer debut last month but capable of better. |

Joined this yard last autumn; gained his fourth course win (eighth win in all) over 1m in December; unplaced on next start; more like it when fourth in a claimer on latest. |

Not long with this yard but gained eighth career win here over 1m when coming late off much reduced mark last month; failed to back that up from 6lb higher last week; veteran is opposable on these terms. |
