Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive in four starts last year and, having been gelded, he made a successful return at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) eight days ago; 6lb penalty to carry, but still 1lb well in and he did win that race with some authority; major player.

Acts on any ground (second win was on heavy); 4-4 in 1m2f handicaps this season, last time having to wait for room before he grabbed a seven-runner race from Perfect Play at Ripon (good); none of those handicaps had more than eight runners and he's up another 5lb but he keeps finding more.

Acts on any ground; 3-3 since being gelded and upped to 1m2f, the most recent success at Haydock where he dug deep to collar a rival who dictated a steady pace; improving 3yo who commands respect upped in grade and taking on his elders for first time.

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Edward Bethell

Steadily progressive last year and, having been gelded, he's won 1m2f handicaps at Redcar (good to soft) and Nottingham (heavy) in the space of eight days last month in his two runs this season; looked like winning by a fair bit further at one late stage in a four-runner race last time and this 2lb higher mark may well underestimate him.

Form & Verdict
Doubled his tally at Newcastle (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in February, but held off this mark at Southwell (1m, AW) the following month and off 64 days since; still has stamina to prove and fairly exposed after 12 starts; others preferred.

Better with each of his three runs for this yard and wasn't beaten far at Kempton a fortnight ago, despite hanging right; stays this far and is quite happy on Tapeta, so he's one to consider.

Not the most reliable and winless since March 2024 for Gemma Tutty; hinted at a revival though on just second run for his new yard with fourth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Goodwood last month; not without interest off a tumbling mark with Oisin Murphy up for the first time.

Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Showed ability on the last of his three starts as a 2yo when third of 14 behind a nice sort at Kempton (1m, AW), and appreciated the step up in trip when making a successful return/handicap debut over C&D (soft) last month (third has won since); 4lb higher, but respected with the likelihood of more improvement to come.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in two starts over 1m on turf/AW last autumn, but pulled too hard at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in January; makes his handicap debut after four months off and is bred to appreciate a test of stamina, but he takes on a couple of progressive rivals here.

Regressive maiden who's often pulled hard and is having his first run at shy of 1m; was among the favourites here a fortnight ago and is better drawn if the first-time headgear helps.
