Did well on AW for this yard two winters ago, winning twice over 7f at Wolverhampton; returned from a 429-day absence with a defeat of Triggered back at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; fully effective on turf but no easy task trying to dominate in this field.

Built on some encouraging efforts when winning narrowly at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; only 1lb higher, but that was only his second win in his last 45 starts so there are doubts.

Fair 7f winner at her best for Bryan Smart; trailed home last on her return from a break but after a troubled passage she stayed on for second over 6f here nine days ago; won't mind returning to 7f; chance.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who showed some ability on a couple of occasions on turf last summer but hasn't built on it in two starts on the AW, including when comfortably held on her return from another absence at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) seven days ago; more needed if she is to break her duck.

Eight-race maiden, with inconsistent results, for Scott Dixon; sold for just 1,000gns since last run; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear on debut for new yard.

Handy sort who narrowly ended a long losing run over C&D in January and may not have been suited by the drop to 6f when well held back here last month; not easy to win with but claims if the return to this trip galvanises him.

Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred.

Often a front-runner who put up a better effort when beaten just over a length into third of nine over C&D four weeks ago; now 9lb below his last winning mark and claims if building on that, though he isn't the only pace angle in the field; stable also runs Gharbeyth; better drawn than when down the field over 6f on Saturday.
