Form & Verdict
Came good for Peter Chapple-Hyam with comfortable win at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in September and his subsequent defeat on heavy ground is not viewed harshly; absent since November but could easily have more to offer for new stable this year.

Back to form after wind surgery, third at Southwell in December before a 6f win at that track last month; bumped into a well-handicapped opponent over C&D 17 days ago (Woodhay Whisper third and 3lb worse off); solid chance off an unchanged mark.

Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player.

Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected.

Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022.

Made low-key stable debut on AW in March but placed twice on turf in recent weeks, latterly when third at Wetherby (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely but it will be interesting to see whether combination of first-time cheekpieces and drop back in trip pays dividends here.
