Form & Verdict
Only 1lb higher than when completing a 7f AW double in February and he made some eyecatching late headway when fourth at Ayr (7f) last time; looks worth another try at this trip but most of his turf runs have been on good or slower and he would have something to prove if ground is on the fast side.

Form & Verdict
Has finished placed under Charlotte Crane in four of her last six starts including when third at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) last month; hard to rule out another good run but she will need a good pace back at this trip and her sole win was in 2020; stablemate of Mac Ailey.

Form & Verdict
Two AW wins for new yard early in the year, but has mixed record in his last five runs and was laboured when favourite at Newcastle (1m) on Saturday; conditions should be fine back in turf but he needs to bounce back after that last run and others are preferred.

Has record of 2-44 but his last win was off 1lb higher at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last autumn and he's finished placed in last two runs, including a close call here (1m1f, good to firm) ten days ago; should make another bold bid back in trip and he's a big player for yard that won this last year.
