Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Julia & Shelley Birkett

Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more.

Two Tapeta wins over shorter; went close over C&D last month and she has followed that run with two more runner-up finishes, more recently behind Ward Castle ten days ago; 2lb worse off with that rival but still set to go well once more.

Yet to win over this far but she stays the trip and is fully effective on Tapeta; yet to get going after a summer break but this return to Class 6 company on AW should be in her favour; not discounted.

Unable to get threaten on two recent turf starts, following a break, but her best performances have come on AW and she's on a competitive mark on form as recent as April; effective over C&D and she's a possible player.

Three AW wins in 2023, over 1m5f and 2m here and 1m6f on Tapeta; slow to find form since back from absence and although his latest run at Bath was better, others have less to prove over 1m2f.

Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered.
