Form & Verdict
Showed ability in four starts over 7f for the Gosdens but, having been gelded, he appeared to appreciate the drop in trip when making a successful debut for this yard in a Wolverhampton novice (5f, Tapeta) on Boxing Day; makes his handicap debut after three months off in a first-time hood, in a warm little contest of its type.

2-2 on turf last year, making a successful debut from a subsequent winner at Haydock (6f, good to soft) in September and defying a penalty in a Windsor novice (6f, good) the following month; makes his handicap/AW debut after 166 days off, but may yet be capable of even better this year and much respected on this return.

Classy sprinter for Clive Cox and won a Listed and a Group 2 for that yard; decent run on debut for this yard at Dundalk before disappointing in Cork Listed race next time on soft; much better over C&D last time when a 2.75l sixth behind Mission Central.

Classy sprinter for Clive Cox and won a Listed and a Group 2 for that yard; decent run on debut for this stable at Dundalk in February, but behind a few of these when tailed off at Cork last time; needs to leave that well behind.

Hasn't won since taking the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024 when with Clive Cox; posted a reasonable debut run for this yard at Dundalk and this ground will suit but needs a return to his best to score.

Form & Verdict
Has made all for both wins, the latest a convincing success at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month; still looks to be improving after 11 starts, but an 8lb rise for that latest win may leave him vulnerable against a couple of less exposed rivals.

Form & Verdict
3-4 on Polytrack last year, his first two wins coming over 5f here in the spring; faced stiff tasks in his final three starts and has been gelded since last seen in October, but he faces some unexposed types on this return and may find a couple too good.

2-2 this year, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford in January and at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; 6lb rise for latest success takes him to a career-high mark but he is well drawn and should give it another good go.

Running in this race for the third time, having finished second in 2024 and fourth last year; those runs were after a break but he has the benefit of a run this time around, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford five weeks ago; still on a feasible mark and he is a key player for a stable going well.

C&D winner who is 3lb lower than when last successful; second of nine at Lingfield (5f, AW) in September but he was below his best on turf on his next three outings; returns from a 97-day absence but he's of interest back on the AW.

Form & Verdict
Did it well when making a winning debut at Newbury (6f, good) last August and won by a neck under her penalty in a Haydock novice (6f, good to firm) the following month (front pair pulled well clear of the rest); makes her handicap/AW debut after 204 days off, but is a half-sister to a couple of Polytrack winners and looks a major player on this return.

Lightly raced since competitive form over 7f at Listed level in 2023; well beaten in handicap and Listed races in two runs for current outfit but has undergone a wind operation since those; dual winner at 6f but may need further now.

Had Listed-race form at 7f in late 2023 but she hasn't had much racing since and while her comeback at Haydock in May was satisfactory, on debut for this yard, it still leaves her with a tough task up in grade.

Well beaten over C&D last August on final run for Charlie McBride and absent since; however, she has a handy mark to work with on this stable debut and ran really well on last season's reappearance; not ruled out.
