Form & Verdict
Has run some creditable races at a variety of trips this year and he was forced very wide in the home straight when a eyecatching fifth here (2m) last time; hard to rule out a good run back in trip but he's not easy to predict and his last win was in 2019.

T: Harriet Bethell

Seen mostly on Tapeta and has more to prove on Polytrack, as shown by latest start; 1m6f wins at Wolverhampton this May and June, with a close call at Newcastle on penultimate start, but there's a bit more for him to prove with the 105-day absence.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over 2m at Newcastle (Tapeta) in autumn 2021 but he missed last year and has been out of sorts in both runs (1m4f) this spring; goes back up in trip with blinkers reapplied but he needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Took a while to get off the mark but he's won over 2m in his last two starts and latest was at this track 17 days ago; that was a narrow success but he travelled smoothly for a long way and is only 2lb higher on this drop back in trip; big player.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden who was tailed off on his hurdling debut in December and was the same story back in this sphere at Bath (11.6f, soft; first run after wind op) last month; dropped another 5lb but he has a lot to prove again and others are more convincing; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.
