9st 4lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Adam Kirby

Looked ahead of his mark in first three 5f wins on the AW, most recently at Southwell in March; missed a beat at the start and only just failed to reel in the more prominently ridden Spendmore Lane at Lingfield since; raised a further 3lb but still has potential.

9st 6lb

J: William Carson

T: Adam Kirby

3-3 over 5f, including here, and he took his form to a new level with a comfortable Southwell success last month; up 6lb and now tackles Class 5 company but his ceiling is yet to be established.

9st 5lb

J: William Carson

T: Adam Kirby

Races freely and unbeaten (2-2) at 5f; quickened readily when winning at Lingfield last August on final start for Martin Dunne; new trainer has made a promising start and this gelding may still be unexposed; very interesting despite a 7lb rise.

9st 9lb

J: Charles Bishop

T: Martin Dunne

Not much when to plan for him here (6f, turf) on latest outing 12 weeks ago and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he finished strongly when winning at Wolverhampton (5f; first-time tongue-tie) in March and is not yet fully exposed.

9st 9lb

J: William Carson

T: Martin Dunne

Justified market support in first-time tongue-tie off 5lb lower at Wolverhampton (5f) in March before finishing fourth of ten here (6f, AW) 49 days ago, despite racing freely; gelded since; makes turf debut and likely to go well if coping with the grass.
