Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced since clearcut win at Kelso (3m2f, good) in spring 2021 and was never dangerous when midfield at Down Royal (2m1f) last month, after a one-year absence; moves back up in trip here, though, and will be feared if strong in the betting.

Thorough stayer whose three wins have all come in Britain, including at Perth in June; well held there on latest however and probably faces stiff enough tasks now on the domestic scene.

Evidently well suited by the move back up in trip when winning by over 6l over C&D (good) in June, his second run after a layoff; 8lb higher in a stronger race today but ought to cope if the ground eases.

Struck form and scored twice in the autumn (2m5f/3m) but didn't really fire on either start here this spring (2m4f); only 2lb above last winning mark now but needs to up his game.

Pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last month but this race is much less competitive and the quicker surface ought to suit him better; made the frame on his previous three outings and has each-way claims at least.

Form & Verdict
Pretty consistent in recent month, and was ahead of Pammi when fourth over C&D (good to soft) in refitted visor a fortnight ago; probably won't be far away but is 0-14 over hurdles now and needs to fine something extra.

Form & Verdict
0-5 over hurdles but bettered her low-key handicap debut (2m1f) when close third of six over C&D (good) last month; remains very unexposed over this sort of trip and might be seen to better effect if today's race is run at a stronger pace.

Multiple C&D winner; fourth (beaten 16l, with Dailileo third) in this race last year, and it's fair to say that she's yet to really fire in 2024; weakened (eighth of ten) over C&D last time, which leaves her work to do with Diamond State.

Multiple C&D scorer who also took this in 2021 and 2022; came in last on the Flat at Hamilton recently but she had shaped well when a C&D third last month so rates a player once more for yard among the winners.
