Form & Verdict
Two wins at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) since returning to the AW in December, the latest when beating 13 rivals last month; outside stall probably a bigger problem than the 5lb rise when well held back there last time; has won here (5f) and a good chance he will get the strong pace he needs; contender.

Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil.

Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims.

Form & Verdict
Handy sort who was getting off the mark at the 23rd attempt when making all in a Southwell novice (5f, Tapeta) in January, but he showed he could be competitive back in a handicap as well when beaten half a length into second of ten over this C&D last month (third has won since); 2lb higher but still one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Ten-time winner on the AW including three times here here (5f-7f); was having his second start within the space of 24 hours when just caught at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) eight days ago, having looked the likely winner for most of the way; 1lb higher but still a major player under Simon Walker.

His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race.

Form & Verdict
Sole success in 13 starts when just getting up at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) in January, but has to put a lesser effort in this headgear combination at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last time behind him; hasn't always looked the easiest, which would be a concern for jockey having his first ride.

Got off the mark with an odds-on win in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, Tapeta) in January but he's not gone on from that in four runs since; was forced wide over C&D last time but he finished behind Porfin in that race and it took his record to 1-14; others are more persuasive.
