Six-time winner, with five of those wins coming on turf; ran well when second of 11 here on the AW in December and switches to turf on her first start since; seems unsuited by ground softer than good.

A dual 5f/6f winner in this grade in 2025 but he has twice failed to build on a solid C&D sixth in early January, just eighth of 11 in 7f Lingfield classified event two weeks ago; he needs to take a big step forward.

He has been running a bit better than the bare results of late, making the running into a strong wind on his penultimate start and then overdoing it from the front nine days ago; should go well.

Veteran who ended a long losing run when making all at Beverley (5f, good) in May; did not repeat the form in his two subsequent outings, also under Shay Farmer, and does not seem the percentage call.

Ended a long losing run when making all on a rare turf outing at Beverley (5f, good) in May but he dropped out on his return visit on Monday; the soft ground may have dulled his powers but he's not easy to predict and others are more solid; change of headgear.
