Form & Verdict
Placed on consecutive starts in May (Flat/hurdles) but doesn't help himself by tending to race too freely and was disappointing on latest outing in June; others appeal more here.

Sole success under NH rules was when landing a maiden hurdle at this track in June 2022; has been running at a low level on the Flat this year without success and makes chasing debut; difficult to fancy.

Absent since safely held on Tapeta in April but his penultimate AW run was a good effort and his 2-2 record on heavy ground brings him into each-way calculations.

Form & Verdict
Yet to add to his novice win in 2019 but has made the frame over 1m on all five appearances this season and should be fine over today's longer trip; effective on good and soft ground; probably won't be far away.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Dominic Ffrench Davis

Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus.

Form & Verdict
Without a win since autumn 2021 but built upon satisfactory seasonal/stable debut when second in Bath handicap (11.6f, firm) three weeks ago and won't mind if the ground is slower here; major player in this grade.

Form & Verdict
A maiden after 11 starts but quickly bounced back from poor seasonal/stable debut when fourth of ten in Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; today's move back up in trip ought to suit and he'll be dangerous at this level if able to build on that recent effort.

She ran okay when fourth over 1m here last month (Milvus third) but couldn't build on it at Ffos Las ten days ago (1m2f, heavy); dropping down the weights but others are more appealing for win purposes.
