11st 4lb |
Won twice over 2m last season and produced another respectable effort when second at Bangor in April; he was below par at Cheltenham and this mark is challenging even if he does return to his best. |

Creditable second over 2m3f at Bangor last month; this drop back in trip looks a positive, as he's done his winning at 2m, but he faces a harder task in this deep field; remains on career-high mark. |

Five-time hurdle winner (including 4yo Listed) for Nicky Henderson and fair third in that code at Market Rasen recently on his stable debut; Maxine O'Sullivan has travelled from Ireland for the ride and he's an interesting contender on this first Flat start since January 2022. |

Mostly campaigned as a chaser in recent seasons, winning in these colours at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last winter when trained by Tom George; beaten 20l in a 2m Kempton handicap hurdle last month on his debut for this stable. |

The veteran in this line-up; mostly campaigned as a chaser in recent seasons, winning at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last winter; having final outing for Tom George when down the field over hurdles at Compiegne in May; given a chance by the handicapper but needs to be revived by a change of stable. |

Respectable record at Goodwood includes four wins, notably this contest in 2022 (soft); outstayed over 2m4f when behind Temporize at the Glorious festival then ran creditably back at 2m here later in August; solid claims. |

Can make the running and suited by soft ground; has won on four of his seven visits to this track, and on his penultimate visit he chased home the subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner; only fifth last time but he made up a lot of ground after starting slowly and it's best to put a line through that; this trip could suit him. |

11st 3lb |
One of two runners on the card for Wiltshire-based Milton Harris; successful on Flat in Germany and over hurdles in France; only a minor player in two British runs but this appears an easier task, especially as he's been dropped another 4lb; improvement looks on the cards. |

Won four on the continent, three Flat and one hurdling; easy to back and finished well held on his British debut over 2m4f at Leicester; that was in a first-time visor and he's better in blinkers, but others still appeal more. |

11st 2lb |
Formerly game front-runner; enjoyed finest hour when making all in a Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham in 2020 but recent efforts have left much to be desired; folded tamely at Newton Abbot last time; now wears cheekpieces. |

7th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Led for a long way when fifth to Glorious Zoff at Warwick but early faller (race then voided) at Stratford, when well backed; likely to make the running but seems to have lost the zip that characterised early career. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Won a novice on soft ground last March and added two good-ground handicaps in the spring; made an encouraging comeback at Kempton (2m, soft) in January but flopped at Huntingdon 16 days later; bit to prove after that but he's not dismissed. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Won a novice here on soft ground last March en route to completing a hat-trick in two good-ground handicaps; mark suffered as a result but he looked dangerous before tiring into third on his Kempton comeback (2m, soft) and he's a 6yo with more to offer; shortlisted. |

Won a novice at Huntingdon (soft) last March and followed up in the spring in good-ground handicaps at Warwick and Southwell, all over 2m when hot favourite; ended last term on a poor note but was found to have a large haematoma on a knee; could easily resume improvement in this second season hurdling. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has struggled to find his best since returning from nearly two years away but last month's fourth at Wincanton, when not quite seeing out 2m5f+, was a definite step in the right direction; could well be involved. |

Always towards rear when tried in cheekpieces two starts ago and was left behind when pace lifted in home straight here (2m4f; no headgear) last month; can't be supported with much confidence today but is now 12lb lower than when very respectable fourth at Taunton (2m3f, soft) in January. |

Triple 2m hurdle winner in 2020-21 season; returned from long absence with two heavy defeats at start of this year but last month's Chepstow seventh (2m3f, soft; race won by Dollar Bae) was more encouraging and she might get closer to the target on today's faster ground. |

Promising novice in the 2020-21 season, winning three times and finishing second in a Grade 2 at Newbury; no impression in two runs back from a long absence this winter, undergoing wind surgery after the latest; down in the weights but there are risks attached. |
