Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting.

8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts.

Mostly in very good form last autumn/winter but his record this May-July is uninspiring, as is his turf record for over a year now; hooded on last two starts (rider was injured on first occasion) and now tries a visor; way down the weights but hard to trust.

Triple AW winner (1m) but his last success was in November 2021 and he's been well held in three runs since returning from a lengthy absence; mark is sliding but he was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time and needs to find more.
