Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark.

Went from strength to strength in 2025, her five 6f wins culminating with one at Salisbury (good to firm, as for the other turf successes) last July; made winning comeback last year but that was off a lowly mark; needs to be right on her game to win this reappearance.

Not beaten far when fourth of five over 7f here last week and can cope with today's drop back in trip but he's 0-24 now and needs to find something extra; cheekpieces replace hood.

Scored at Chepstow (6f soft) when back on turf in June and followed up at Leicester (6f, good) in July, again finishing well from a long way off the pace; not sure to be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here but still respected in current mood.
