Francesco Baracca

9st 10lb

J: Oliver Carmichael

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout.

Francesco Baracca

8st 5lb

J: Tyler Heard

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark.

9st 8lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip.

Francesco Baracca

9st 11lb

J: Oliver Carmichael

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Successful at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in three of his last five starts, cosily justifying favouritism latest; better than ever and warrants respect assuming he's as effective back over 1m4f; distance winner in 2024.

Francesco Baracca

9st 13lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Clearcut win over C&D in the autumn and he got back on the scoresheet with a comfortable success here (1m6f) in December; up 3lb but that was a personal best and he's a major player again back up in trip.

5/4
