Form & Verdict
Positively ridden in gaining both wins, at Thirsk (7f, good) in August last year and at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in May; has a 165-day absence to overcome, but he may get his own way in this small field and could prove hard to peg back; stable also runs Quiet Resolve.

Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort.

Three turf wins to his name; patchy record in 2025 though and others are more appealing in today's field.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard Fahey

Looked unfortunate when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) since; acts on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; still 2lb below last winning mark; a player.

Form & Verdict
Record on the AW reads 33133 and on turf it's 5805, but he wasn't beaten far in big fields on turf at York (7f, good) in May and at Ayr (1m, good) in September; respected.

Made a winning stable debut at Hamilton (8.5f; 20-1) last month; backed that up, splitting a Jim Goldie pair (third has won since), under a 5lb penalty there (1m1f) next time; 1lb lower now and has no issues with this AW track (311224); interesting.

AW winner; placed in the Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in September but never involved next time at Ayr, which made it 0-12 on grass; has since left Richard Fahey.

Form & Verdict
Much more exposed than his three rivals after 21 starts and both wins have come on the AW, including a last-gasp success at Chelmsford (1m) 11 days ago; has gone close a few times on turf, but a bigger concern than the 4lb rise is whether this will prove enough of a test of stamina for him.

Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut.

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Landed a small-field Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) for Andrew Balding just over a year ago; best effort since also came on the AW when third of ten at Kempton (7f) in June, but has regressed since including in both starts for this yard; needs more.

Dual C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark and he didn't get much luck when third here (6f) last Thursday; could be a big factor if things go more to plan this time and his last three wins have been on Tapeta.

Dual C&D winner for Lauren Young, who's back up today, last autumn, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; expensive to follow since but won't mind coming back down from 7f and a case could be made.
