Form & Verdict
Off the mark (fifth attempt) when landing Doncaster novice (1m2f, soft) last August; disappointing in final two runs last season but he got back on track with creditable third at Southwell (1m3f; first run since gelded) on his return last month; was allowed to dictate but he should benefit from that run and he looks interesting back in suitable conditions on turf.

4yo who has enjoyed a progressive season with three handicap wins (1m4f, good to soft/good; including here); won soft-ground novice over C&D last year; however, he's gone off the boil the last twice and has to bounce back.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: David O’Meara

Progress has not been smooth but he's scored this season over 1m4f at Doncaster, Haydock and Ripon; fair fifth of nine at Ayr (1m5f, sole run on good to firm) on penultimate start perhaps dents his prospects and he was well beaten last term on sole attempt at 1m6f; however, he's looked good for those three wins, better than the winning margin suggests on last two occasions.

Form & Verdict
Ended his 2yo campaign with a novice win at Newbury (1m, soft) but he was well held in four middle-distance handicaps for the Charltons last season; still lightly raced but he returns after 246 days off and has something to prove for new yard.

J: Darragh Keenan

His only appearance at Chester was a successful one in eight-runner handicap last August (2m, good to firm) off 3lb lower than today, in a manner that was encouraging for this test; absent since a lesser show in September but scored in 2024 after a 113-day layoff and needs a close look.

Form & Verdict
All four runs have been on AW; ended last year with a runaway win in Wolverhampton novice (1m4f) but was well held on his handicap debut at Southwell (took strong hold) last month; needs to kick on again on this switch to turf but a hood could help him settle better and he has soft-ground winners on dam's side; not ruled out.

All-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May in his third handicap but flopped at Thirsk 18 days later and the jockey reported that he hung right-handed throughout; that run has to introduce a note of caution.

Improved his record to 2-6 when justifying favouritism with an all-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; hood removed) 18 days ago; hit a personal best on that switch to fast ground and he remains feasibly treated after a 3lb rise; big player again for in-form yard.
