Form & Verdict
Solid third, behind two good fillies, at Newmarket (6f) in May; has regressed sharply in two subsequent starts (5f/7f; stable debut latest) but a combination of wind surgery and first-time tongue-tie may have positive effect.

Sole win came at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) a year ago, though she seemed to stay when fourth of 11 back there (1m) ten days ago; this even longer trip asks another question of her, though, as does the outside stall.

More exposed than these rivals, having raced nine times, but he's fairly useful and did well to finish a close third at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month having come from a lot further back than the first two; leading player on form.

Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, finishing second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance and beaten just a neck in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) when last seen; has had wind surgery since; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on this return.

Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing.

All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably.
