9st 9lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: William Knight

Steady progress since handicapping and he took his form to a new level with his ready defeat of Ribston Pippin at Southwell three weeks ago (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time); up 6lb but open to further progress and he should go well if the ground is suitable (smart half-sister Royal Velvet happiest on good or faster).

9st 8lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: William Knight

Beaten favourite three times since breaking through over C&D in January but his last two efforts were sound; first-time headgear (cheekpieces) could help to focus him and Oisin Murphy is 9-28 (+12.68) for the yard in the last five years; the one to beat.

9st 8lb

J: Neil Callan

T: William Knight

Low-mileage 4yo who got off the mark here in January and posted a good second of nine to Aim For The Bull in 1m Kempton handicap 17 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages under 2f out; enjoys a 1lb weights pull here and can go well.

9st 5lb

J: Neil Callan

T: William Knight

Lightly raced 4yo who won a classified event at Southwell (1m) in January but he didn't fire in a handicap there 16 days later; needs to step up again after that but he still has potential and could resume his progress after a short break.

9st 5lb

J: Neil Callan

T: William Knight

Minor turf form when qualifying but dam was best on AW and sole sibling was 2-4 on sand so no surprise he's achieved more on this surface, following a narrow C&D defeat by coming out on top in a classified event here (from a subsequent winner) since; can progress further.
