Form & Verdict
Led close home when making winning debut for yard on AW (6f) in January; has been vulnerable ever since, including over 5f, but perhaps more of a test of stamina back over 5f will prove a good option.

Form & Verdict
Never sighted on Ascot reappearance but he looked to have more to offer when quite a clever winner over 5f on Chelmsford AW in November and he also has form on a stiff track; not a huge surprise to see him go well back from break.

Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap.

Form & Verdict
Much improved this year and gained two narrow 5f wins in April (soft/good to soft), the latter form working out well; seemingly weighted to her best now but she led late in the day when successful and could have more to come if rain materialises.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner; form tailed off in 2022 but he took advantage of a handy weights drop when making all at Salisbury last month (good to firm; has won on soft) and is still weighted to win, off 4lb lower than his close second over C&D last June; Oisin Murphy up for the first time.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

Raced mostly on AW, winning at 5f on AW in February; ran fast for a long way in his second turf handicap, at Lingfield recently, but he can be a weak finisher and this stiff track will test any stamina shortcomings.

Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed.
