Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however.

Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet.

Won three successive 6f/7f handicaps here in the spring and subsequent defeats suggest he might be high in the weights; perhaps this step up to 1m can help, having finished second on his only previous run over this far well over a year ago.

No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.

Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes.
