9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip. |

9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (16-1; from 3lb lower) five weeks ago; that came as a bit of a surprise, only his second win since August 2021, but the form was given a boost with the third (Moon Over The Sea) winning at Bath on Monday; needs considering. |

Bagged a classified contest last August, ending a long losing spell, and has proved consistent at the same level this year; however, this 9yo hasn't won a handicap since 2021. |

Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

8st 4lb |
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. |

No wins in 18 starts and was only seventh of nine runners over 7f at Kempton on his return from a break; needs to step up on that effort, though 1m is fine for him. |

Just one win from 17 starts and he's finished out the back in his three for this yard; mark is tumbling but he needs to turn things around back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

Just one win from 16 starts and out the back both starts for this yard; dropping in the weights but stamina has to be taken on trust. |

Should take well to Epsom as he's locally trained now and shaped encouragingly at similar Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) on final run for previous yard; blew the start on debut for new stable; each-way hopes granted a clean break. |

Big chance on last season's form but he's been struggling this time around; dropping down the weights but soft ground would ask a new question of him and he's usually seen over further. |

Regressive maiden who's undergone two rounds of wind surgery this year; the tongue-tie goes back on tonight, along with first-time cheekpieces, and would want to see good support before considering him. |

11st 1lb |
Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level. |
4/1 |

0-8 over hurdles but has posted some good performances this season, most recently runner-up at Market Rasen (2m, good) 18 days ago; also effective on soft ground; makes a lot more appeal than most of these. |
