J: Paddy Bradley

Absolutely thrown in on old form but regressive the last two seasons; insufficiently competitive this term; blinkers replace recent cheekpieces.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Rebecca Menzies

Course winner who is fine on slow ground and continues to drop down the weights; however, he's been regressive in the last two seasons and was tailed off here recently when the tongue-tie/cheekpieces were first applied.

9st 1lb

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Rebecca Menzies

No ground worries but his career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) were in 2024, including a win in this race; 6lb lower today but that's after a rather muted 2025 when still with Roger Varian and his form went badly the wrong way in three runs this January-April for new connections; tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, both fitted for the first time, need to work the oracle.

9st 6lb

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Rebecca Menzies

Career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) for Roger Varian were in 2024 and he managed only mid-division in his three handicaps (at top meetings) last July-September; rather worse in both runs (his first races on AW) for new connections early this year but he returns to turf 8lb below his career-high mark.

9st 9lb

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Rebecca Menzies

On same mark as for his win at York (1m4f, good) in August 2024 but he's not seen much action since and has been well held in last four starts; may have needed the run on his stable/AW debut at Kempton (28-1) last month but others are more persuasive.

14/1
