Form & Verdict
Course winner (6f, good to firm); back to last winning mark and his latest fourth of eight behind Stone Circle was a step forward from his reappearance effort (5f, soft); got carried left a touch in the closing stages but he wasn't an unlucky loser by any stretch; 3lb turnaround perhaps not enough to reverse the placings.

J: Darragh Keenan

Has been much better than this level in his time but winless for 18 months; in the money over C&D on each of his last three starts and likely to make another bold bid; cheekpieces now added.

Without a win since scoring at Windsor (5f, good to soft; from 20lb higher) over 18 months ago; has been knocking at the door over this C&D in recent weeks, including when beaten a neck (Call Time third) on penultimate start; foolish to discount.

Form & Verdict
5f on slow ground suits and she is now 5lb lower than for her Nottingham win last May; sent off joint-favourite for a competitive fillies' handicap at Bath on her return but left the impression the run may have been needed; one to consider.

C&D winner on soft two years ago; she made a fair return to action when second of 12 over 6f here last week but she was beaten over 4l and is up in class today; minor money perhaps her best hope.

In good form on AW this winter, doing well to make all from stall 9 over 5f on his penultimate start; gave best only to a progressive rival back there last week (6f) and he has won on slow ground in the past; might take some pegging back.

Two front-running wins at Lingfield (6f and 5f; AW) this year; good second over 6f here four weeks ago (drawn wide); better berthed today and still feasibly treated; may have stablemate Recon Mission to worry about for the early lead.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 76

Form & Verdict
Three turf wins last year and he made a good return to action at Yarmouth 16 days ago (5f, soft), digging deep close home to snatch victory; that effort is backed up by the clock and a 2lb rise isn't excessive; respected.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 13 times since his winning debut at Newmarket as a 2yo (6f); that was the only time he's raced on soft ground so the return to testing conditions may help; he does have to bounce back from two very lacklustre runs though.

Won 2yo debut; winless since but consistent at 7f/6f on AW in the second half of 2022, including over C&D; not in much form since back in December from a short break but two of those three runs were at 5f and he's not badly treated at present; often wears headgear but not today.
