Form & Verdict
Front-runner who's been inclined to pull hard and hang right since returning from a year off; goes beyond 5f for the first time on his turf debut and will need to settle if he's to see it out, but stable form couldn't be much better.

T: Chelsea Banham

Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival.

Front-runner whose last four wins have been on the AW, the most recent over 6f at Newcastle in February, but he did win here (6f) in 2024; failed to beat a rival home having unseated his rider on the way to the start at Newcastle in March and now drops back to 5f on first start since; looks likely to face competition for the lead.

His good 5-15 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win from the front last month; creditable third of nine at Chelmsford (5f) since and the form of that race has been boosted; a must for the shortlist.

Regressive maiden who has been absent for five months and goes without the headgear worn for most of last season; tonight's career-low mark should be within range but other make greater appeal.
