Bottom of this pack on the bare figures, having held on for just a narrow success at Newcastle (7f, AW; well-backed favourite) on sole 2yo outing; however, he's in good hands and looks open to progress this year; market support should be noted.

Not the easiest to predict and has only won a Newbury novice from ten starts; however, went mighty close off just 2lb lower at Haydock on his penultimate run so he's not one to put a line through; likes to lead and had no freedom at York last time.

Handles most ground and she's tactically versatile; has been generally reliable this season and she won in a tight finish at Windsor (1m) in August before a creditable third at York (1m1f) last month; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

It was a deep handicap she contested at Goodwood and in solid form otherwise, winning for a fourth time by a short-head at Windsor 24 days ago (1m, good to firm); clear claims off 2lb higher if in similar form here.

Well-bred colt; shaped with significant promise despite his inexperience being evident when second of 12 at Kempton last month (7f), surging to the front but unable to hold off late thrust of the winner (pair well clear; fourth has won since); similar event should be a formality on that evidence.

Has gained both handicap wins at Chester, including over the bare 7f at this meeting (good) in May 2024; respectable fifth in this last year; a reappearance run over 6f at the Newmarket Craven meeting could have put him spot on for this; likely to be in the mix here again.
