Form & Verdict
Course regular who looked in excellent nick when drawing clear to score by over 5l over C&D (soft) a week ago and is now bidding for a hat-trick; will be fine on faster ground and commands respect under 4lb penalty.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: John Gallagher

12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Won off 1lb lower on Tapeta in the autumn and had plausible excuses for both down-the-field runs in April but was last of five here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago; questions to answer now.

Off the mark in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m, AW) in October and returned from break with pretty good effort over that C&D in February; had excuses when down the field on both starts in April (soft ground/bled from nose) and is a contender if all goes to plan here; now sports cheekpieces.

A maiden after eight runs but posted good effort when second to much-improved rival over C&D (good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago and has obvious claims if in similar form again.

Billaki Mou

8st 11lb

J: Millie Wonnacott

T: George Baker

13-race maiden with a tendency to race too freely; slightly disappointing when upped to 11.6f at Bath recently (race won by Send In The Clouds) but placed twice over 1m2f beforehand and runs this track well; swaps usual visor for first-time hood today; would have something to prove if the ground is slower than good but could have a say.

Form & Verdict
Won two basement-grade AW races in March (1m/7f) but has very modest 1-26 strike-rate on turf; his defeat on soft ground in April is not viewed harshly but he was also below form on Tapeta last month; others appeal more.

Two wins already this month, the latter at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 12 days ago; should cope with today's drop back in trip and has run well here before; likely to make his presence felt.

T: Micky Hammond

Almost three years since he won and does most racing over shorter; gone well fresh before but pulled hard the only time he's tried this far and will want to settle early back from four months off; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from last intended start in January (9-1 at the time).
