J: Kieren Fox

Veteran who is often a zestful front-runner; no win since August 2023 but 5-15 at Windsor overall and, surprisingly, his last race here was that latest win; close second on Kempton AW (1m4f) on recent reappearance also returns him to calculations and he's won on a wide variety of ground.

Prolific winner, mostly on AW and at 1m6f-2m, including C&D; 1lb higher than when scoring here in February; not quite as good in two subsequent starts but looks a player back up in trip and with the same claimer up as for that most recent success.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Mike Murphy

Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023.

Form & Verdict
Has dropped down the weights and very nearly rediscovered the winning thread when second from off the pace at Chelmsford (1m); only 2lb higher for this and as a C&D winner on heavy he's strongly considered.
