J: Sean Kirrane

T: Michael Appleby

Done the bulk of his winning over 6f, and hasn't tasted success since March 2021 (Chelmsford); gone off the boil since posting back-to-back third place finishes (over 7f) in mid-February; headgear is yet to deliver.

9st 3lb

J: Frederick Larson

T: Michael Appleby

All ten wins (including one here) have come over 5f-7f; losing run is up to 20 and his stamina for this far remains unproven; different headgear combination will need to make a big difference.

9st 0lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Michael Appleby

Placed on consecutive 7f Tapeta starts last month and didn't run badly over 6f here a week ago but this move back up to 1m is not sure to suit and it's now over three years since his last win; swaps blinkers for first-time visor; tongue-tie also fitted for first time.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Michael Appleby

Three 6f wins on Fibresand here; last won in 2021 but it didn't look all doom and gloom over 6f at Newcastle or 7f here this month; lesser effort ten days ago but that came only two days after his previous run and is worth considering; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces.
