Form & Verdict
Seven Perth wins (on good or softer) and the last six of those were over 3m, latest last September off 4lb higher than today; may have needed last month's run, which was her first since November; has to be in serious calculations despite her failure to fire for most of 2023.

Multiple C&D winner; fourth (beaten 16l, with Dailileo third) in this race last year, and it's fair to say that she's yet to really fire in 2024; weakened (eighth of ten) over C&D last time, which leaves her work to do with Diamond State.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden, apparently best in a bumper on debut; closest finish in six races over hurdles was last time when beaten just under 10l for fourth of 15 under Ben Smith in handicap here (good to soft; favourite) last month, just behind Diamond State; dropped 2lb today and that second crack at 2m4f suggested that he may be of interest over this longer trip.

Became disappointing for Alan King and is yet to be placed for current stable; took step back in right direction and ran well for a long way before fading into sixth over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) this month but still makes only limited appeal.

Form & Verdict
Untried beyond 2m5f; all three wins have been at Musselburgh, the latest over fences in December 2022; third of 15 here (2m4f; blundered two out) on latest outing was easily his most positive display for a while, though, and he looked worth a crack at a longer trip that day.

0-4 in bumpers and 0-9 over hurdles; ran in handicaps on last six outings, easily best of those when placed over about 2m6f at Down Royal in April and Downpatrick on latest outing; below form on his sole appearance at 3m but that was before the cheekpieces went on and he may now be worth a second attempt; considered.
