Form & Verdict
Two C&D wins in August 2021; often ran well in defeat last summer and there were more promising signs at Ripon last week when keeping on after having to be switched right in the closing stages; out of the weights but not handicapped out of things; considered.

Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark.

Two-time C&D winner who was a good second over C&D in June; not written off given her record here but she hasn't been at her best at Ripon (6f) and here (7f) the last twice, and needs to bounce back.

Improved performer on AW over the winter, winning twice at Southwell and running well in defeat back there when last seen 30 days ago; career-high mark to deal with back on grass but dangerous to oppose too lightly; unraced on quicker than good.

Five wins on Tapeta elsewhere but has run only twice on this track; had a slow time of it in 2024 but he's well treated now and emerged from a break with a good run at Newcastle (5f; in refitted blinkers) last week; return to 6f will suit; every chance.

Won a 6f handicap here in November 2023, recording an RPR of 66 in the process; little to celebrate on turf last year but he has gone well fresh in the past and any market confidence would look significant with blinkers given another airing.

Form & Verdict
Two wins on AW early in the year; looked in form when behind Lezardrieux here 16 days ago, creeping into contention when squeezed out against the far rail in the final furlong; not in the same form at Leicester on Tuesday but he has the ability to feature granted some luck in running; blinkers return today.

Form & Verdict
His last three runs have come over 5f here, winning two of them and running well in defeat on the other occasion; strong at the finish last time and returning to 6f shouldn't be an issue; drawn widest and up in class but the best could still be to come.

Lost his way in the second half of last year and doesn't boast a good record first time out down the seasons; stall 11 isn't ideal for a front-runnner either.
