J: Kevin Stott

T: Paul & Oliver Cole

0-7 this year and has been beaten at 9-2 or shorter in last six starts but he's had some close calls and was a creditable third under a positive ride at Epsom (1m4f, good) last time; still looks on a workable mark and he should go well again back in trip; equipment returns including first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Best form at 7f; 0-10 and inconsistent (over 6f-1m) for current stable; has enough to prove over this new trip and looks the least likely winner.

Form & Verdict
On a 19-race losing run and was beaten favourite (third of six) at Epsom most recently; however, she's now 16lb below last winning mark and Callum Hutchinson takes off 5lb, so holds every chance at the weights.

Just one win from 17 starts and isn't entirely straightforward; however, stayed on for third over 1m at Chelmsford (AW) two months ago and has possibilities off same mark back at 1m2f; well treated on peak form.

Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support.

This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021.
