9st 9lb |
12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back. |

Won juvenile hurdle over C&D in 2022; ended long losing run in basement-grade Flat race last month but has not run over hurdles since November 2024 and his current ability over jumps is tricky to gauge. |

0-18 overall and, after 265 days off, never dangerous in his two starts last month; several minor honours last year and one was a C&D second, which would make him look well handicapped but he's not the percentage call. |

C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run when scoring off a reduced mark here (7f) last month; up 4lb and was way below that over this trip at Chelmsford (Polytrack; 25-1) 12 days ago; bounce back required but that's not out of the question. |

Hard to win with and hold-up style means she is reliant on luck in running; that wasn't in evidence here last week (1m2f) when she ran into traffic in the straight, eventually finishing a never-nearer fifth; each-way shout. |

7f course winner who has also scored over 1m; claims on some of his Irish form as recent as last December; changed hands prior to latest run, when he came in for a bit of support but was never a factor and finished last at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta); bit to prove. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has very modest 1-37 strike-rate but scores high marks for her consistency; most of her recent form is over 7f but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and probably won't be far away. |

Very consistent, running well in the cheekpieces the past twice (deal better off with Gilt Edge than when third to her last month), but has only won once; may be the one to take them along under a jockey taking just her seventh ride. |
