9st 8lb |
Down the field at Southwell (1m) last time when back in a handicap, but didn't run badly after a slow start and she won on the Tapeta there (1m) in April; Newmarket trainer does well here and she's not ruled out. |

Takes a drop back in grade, following Listed defeats on turf the last twice; sole attempt on AW resulted in C&D win (off 3lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut; interesting back here, being unexposed on the surface. |

Three-time turf winner who scored in a first-time hood (retained since) on stable debut in a Class 4 handicap at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; ran well on form but underlined she has something to find at Listed level when sixth (Purplepay third) at Pontefract last month. |

10st 0lb |
On the same mark as when running away with a 7f handicap at Southwell in August 2022; rarely seen since and he was well beaten at Chelmsford on last month's return from 13 months off; could take benefit from that run and this should be a better guide as to how much ability remains. |

Off the mark for the season with last-gasp success at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher here and good 3lb claimer Sean Kirrane is enlisted; this straight mile should also suit; respected. |

0-12 since novice win in 2021 and below best when mid-division in the Carlisle Bell last time; however, prior to that he ran two good races over this C&D (good to soft/good) and is not discounted. |

9st 12lb |
Ran up a five-timer here early in the year (1m3f-today's trip), latterly off an 8lb mark; raced freely down to 1m last time and will need to settle better going right back up in distance, especially into a small field. |

6th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

He hasn't looked back since stepping up to middle distances, winning five times here this year from 1m3f to 2m; ran right up to his best when second at Newcastle three weeks ago and still has time to do better; whether he'll have the pace to cope with the return to 1m is a moot point though. |

Has proved a revelation this year, winning all five of his starts at Southwell including when stepped up to the extended 2m there a week ago; can't be dismissed in his current mood, though a 5lb penalty and different track pose a new question. |

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his C&D win last month; followed up at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) three days later and he went very close in his hat-trick bid back at Wolverhampton last week; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and another good run looks on the cards. |

Seven-time Tapeta winner who sits 12lb below his last winning mark (dead-heat over 1m2f at Newcastle in February 2022); out of sorts lately, with hopes seemingly pinned on the change of scenery - a first ever visit to Southwell - and a drop back to 1m working the oracle. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |
