Had an excellent run in 1m turf handicaps this year, winning the first three, including over C&D, and losing nothing in defeat against a fellow improver at Newbury (heavy) 22 days ago; edged up 1lb but has much better claims than most.

Similar type to Atlantic Gamble, being a productive gelding who has a high strike-rate (5-8) in handicaps; close fifth off this mark last time (1m, AW) and remains in form; versatile ground-wise on turf.

Fine record here, with his four runs yielding two wins and a second for Adam West in 2024; followed that trainer to France last year but he was back to being an Epsom resident when close third on stable debut at Lingfield (AW) in April and secured first win for this yard at Windsor (also 1m2f, good to firm) one month ago; 4lb rise but he's won off higher; player.

Struggled last season on four visits to Kempton, failing to raise his profile when a big price for his handicap debut (1m); returns as a 3yo now gelded but with a good bit to prove.

Rattled off a four-timer (good to firm/good/soft) in 2024 and landed his first two starts of 2025, latterly the City & Suburban (also 1m2f) at Epsom in April; just one good run from four starts in Meydan this winter but his British return, when second at Goodwood with two of these behind six weeks ago, could be a run to build on.

Ran in snatches and reportedly hung right when well beaten at Haydock latest; something to prove after that but progressive previously, winning twice in the spring (1m2f, good), and could bounce back with a big run.

Beaten six times last year (6f-1m) but was consistent and the latest defeat was in a valuable sales race; didn't appear to stay 1m2f on handicap debut ten days ago and better is likely here back over 1m.

Gelded after showing some ability at two and gave the impression that the race would bring him on at Kempton a month ago (7f); son of Kingsman and disappointing should he not be competitive off this sort of mark.

Couple of costly defeats since handicapping, not seeing it out on heavy ground and then from a wide stall at Nottingham (still ran creditably); he has less to prove than most of these, however, and there won't be any excuses this time.

Well held in all four runs, most recently when fifth of seven on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, heavy) last month; still early days for this well-bred gelding but he needs improvement on this switch to much quicker ground.

Won a small-field 5f nursery on heavy at Sandown last year and later went close on soft here over 7f; quiet Windsor run was after six months off and on good ground that wouldn't have been slow enough, but stepping up to 1m is a grey area.

Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well.

Fourth in two of his four starts last year including on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded), but a well-beaten last of eight on his Wolverhampton return (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces, but the outside stall won't make things easy.
