Form & Verdict
Dual Polytrack winner last winter; will be happier back up from 5f after ten weeks off but it's hard to make a case for him being as good on turf as the AW, last summer's Epsom win having come off a 12lb lower mark.

Maiden who's been off for a little over a year and who's undergone wind surgery (tongue-tie retained); too soon to write him off and he's well worth monitoring in the market.

0-25 but there have been encouraging signs for his new stable, finishing second twice at Wolverhampton (once for this rider) before a close fourth on Sunday; visor worn there replaced by the blinkers he wore for the earlier seconds; each-way shout again.

Finished well behind Devil's Angel at Sandown but couldn't dominate from a wide stall and is 4lb better off; won't mind the return to 6f (previous C&D winner from the front) and is on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Remains consistent but isn't quite as good as he was and his strike-rate in recent times hasn't been great; has had excuses with one thing and another of late and is capable off this mark but can miss the break and would have preferred some rain.

Yet to win in 2024 but he's run some sound races in defeat; rarely seen on AW these days but his last run here saw him record an RPR of 71 over 6f (March 2023); not ruled out.

Multiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender.

J: David Probert

T: Michael Attwater

Back-to-back wins in 2023 (extended 5f, good to soft; 6f, soft), the latter off 2lb higher; slow to get in the swing this year but he put up a better show when third of five at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time, when persevering well; this slower ground should suit; weights chance.

Form & Verdict
Weighted to his best again, upped 3lb for last month's Sandown win; he's happiest round stiff courses, though, with a C&D win to his name last summer, and has obvious claims if getting one of his better starts.

Nine-time winner scored at Navan (6f, good) in May off 60, his first win since 2022 and his fifth on turf; weighted to confirm recent Curragh form with American In Paris; trainer is back in business after 12 years without a Flat runner and saddled a 33-1 winner at Tipperary on Sunday.

Form & Verdict
Has done a lot of his winning round easier courses (likes Chester and Ripon), mainly on slow ground; back in form off this mark at York last Friday, when drawn away from the action, and enters calculations after that.
