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.

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.

Form & Verdict
Leads/races prominently; ran respectably over C&D as 2yo but best handicap form, including latest win at Windsor in May (5f, soft; also won on good), has come on sharp tracks; still has form claims back on turf.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

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.

Third in similar C&D race to this (good; first run since rejoining this stable) in June and also ran well when third in recent 5f handicap here (firm) but is not one to rely upon heavily and sometimes races too freely.

Form & Verdict
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.
