Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a fine time of it on AW over the winter, rattling off a four-timer in December and January; disappointing at Windsor 12 days ago when the return of blinkers didn't help matters; they are off again now and his soft-ground form needs bettering.

Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere.

Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered.

Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous.

Form & Verdict
It has been a while since his last win but he retains a good chunk of ability and has run several solid races in defeat this year, including in a competitive sprint at Hamilton last week; C&D winner with a good record at Newmarket (both tracks); solid contender.

Absent since prevailing narrowly on heavy ground at Goodwood in October, ending a three-year losing spell; not an obvious type to follow up, especially as his record in this race (three attempts) is modest.

His wins have come over 5f on fast ground but he stays 6f and has run well on good to soft (non-runner on account of soft once); this looks competitive enough and he could use it drying out.
