9st 9lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Jennie Candlish

Placed on three of five starts this year; wide draw no help at Chester two weeks ago when he had his first crack at 1m4f (tailed off); reverts to 1m2f and probably okay on the ground, so he's considered each-way.

9st 3lb

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Jennie Candlish

Placed on three of his four starts this year, most recently when keeping on well for third on last month's turf return at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); will presumably be dropped in again from his wide draw today; might need some luck but looks well worth a crack at 1m4f.

Sole success came when landing a Ffos Las maiden over 7.5f on heavy for Ed Walker in August 2024; has run well on his last three starts on AW (beaten a neck last time) and if he can reproduce that form on turf then he holds claims.

1-14, but placed a few times since handicapping as when second of 11 over C&D in January; each-way claims if reproducing that effort from 1lb lower.

J: Luke Morris

T: Jennie Candlish

Just one win from 13 starts but he reappeared with a good second off a reduced mark at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; that was behind an unexposed improver and he has claims if he can back that up.
