He made a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford in June (1m2f) when sent off at 100-1; back at that level when a close third of nine at Wolverhampton ten days ago (1m4f); in the mix with a repeat.

Still a maiden and he didn't look the easiest of conveyances when a fair fourth of seven in 1m maiden at Goodwood last month; he makes his Polytrack/handicap debut with more required.

In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up.

Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up.

Lurks on a dangerous mark and his defeat on heavy ground a fortnight ago is not viewed harshly but he's largely been disappointing this season and has stamina to prove over this new trip.

Course winner who came in only ninth back on turf in 1m2f Newmarket handicap 19 days ago; it would come as no surprise though to see him bounce back here.

3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted.

The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark.

Placed in first four handicaps and looked booked for second when coming down late on at Market Rasen latest outing (2m4f, good; tongue-tie joined the cheekpieces); she'll have a part to play if returning in the same form.

Placed in all four handicaps, the last three times for Neil Mulholland; slightly disappointing when third at Stratford (2m, good) in May and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender here if suited by the new trip; tongue-tie added.
