Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on some of last season's 6f form for Ewan Whillans and looked suited by the strongly run 5f when keeping on for very respectable seventh (ahead of Bert Kibbler) on recent seasonal/stable debut at Musselburgh (good to soft); likely contender here.

Spent last year in the grip of the handicapper after seven wins in 2024; more leniently treated now and ran respectably when sixth of 28 in the 7f Victoria Cup at Ascot; seemed unsuited by drop back to 5f next time; this intermediate trip is probably ideal these days and he commands respect.

Nine course wins to his name from 22 starts here (3-7 over C&D); in good form of late, having spent last year in the grip of the handicapper, but that was over 7f and whether he still has the toe for 5f, at his age off this mark, is the question; yard also runs Woohoo.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Veteran who had raced only over sprint distances until a resurgent effort (second of 18) upped to 7f at Newmarket last time; goes back up in class and seems unlikely to land a Victoria Cup aged ten; gained last five wins, all in 2024, at Hamilton.

Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner who took form to new level with comfortable success from the front at Southwell (5f) in March; disappointing favourite off lower turf mark at Musselburgh last month but the early pace was hot and the good to soft ground may not have suited; today's race looks much less competitive and he can be given another chance.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Ewan Whillans with two underwhelming AW runs in March (bled from nose on latter occasion); on good mark for turf return but needs to prove wellbeing; blinkers the headgear of choice today.

Nine-time winner over 5f for Eric Alston, the last twice in 2022; ended last season with two poor runs and changed hands for 1,200gns in December; new trainer can probably get her back on track at some stage, but her record when fresh is not compelling.

Seemingly boosted by addition of cheekpieces when winning twice last summer (5f/6f) but her campaign was truncated after two below-par runs last August and she's probably best watched on first outing for 258 days.

Henery Hawk

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Linda Perratt

Hit the line strongly at Wolverhampton (5f; from 6lb lower) over three weeks ago; he's 7-39 on AW, but is yet to win on turf (0-20); handicap mark is still a fair one, particularly with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb, and this is the right type of race; don't discount.

Dual C&D winner who has ran well here behind Kento on his last two starts, most recently a close third 16 days ago; holds good claims but his hold-up style means that things need to fall right.
