Form & Verdict
Losing run up to 13, but running well lately as when third of nine here (1m2f, good) ten days ago; no problem with the return to this trip and the likely ground conditions should suit, with all three turf wins coming on good to firm ground; a player.

J: Neil Callan

T: Tony Carroll

Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on.

Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up.

Form & Verdict
Three wins over 1m2f on good to firm ground for George Boughey, the latest here last summer; not shown much in four starts for this yard and even if the likely conditions should suit him better, he still has enough to prove; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Hard to predict these days and losing run is up to 13, but he had an excuse over 1m5f last time and is now 4lb lower than for his C&D win (good to firm) last summer; could be dangerous back in trip.

Two turf wins for Gay Kelleway in August 2022 including one here (1m2f, good to firm); only shown his form once since then, though, and returns to the Flat after three poor efforts over hurdles for this yard; enough to prove.

J: Myla Coppins

T: Tony Carroll

Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb.

J: Matthew Lloyd Slater

Five turf wins were all secured in a tongue-tie, with additional cheekpeices on last three occasions; has never won on AW and after latest campaign on that surface he now returns to grass with good handicapping case to be made; no headgear looks a negative, though.

J: Miss Sarah Bowen

T: Tony Carroll

Eyecatching second at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on his penultimate run, but he's a frequent slow starter who was always in rear at Lingfield last Saturday; needs to bounce back again after that and he's now 0-18 on AW.
