First past the post for the fifth time on the AW at Kempton last month, only to be disqualified for hanging left and hampering Kinetic; nudged up 2lb but she should still be competitive and she's twice a winner here.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner (7f/1m2f) in 2021 but no joy since, and he has become very inconsistent; ran well when fourth at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March but he's struggled on turf in his last two runs and comes with risks attached; first-time cheekpieces.

Won a Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW; cheekpieces added) last month but he couldn't make an impact over 1m4f here last time; still lightly raced but he has a mixed record so far and needs to kick on again on this drop back in trip; new headgear.

Two good runs in Class 6 company at Chepstow in the summer, getting off the mark at the 14th attempt in August; bled from the nose when disappointing at that track in September; sold for 5,000gns in November and just the type that Mick Appleby will find races for; betting instructive.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark (14th attempt) with a last-gasp win over C&D in March but his form has slumped at Kempton (1m) and Newbury (1m4f) in his last two runs; bit to prove again but he now returns to Tapeta and has claims if he can bounce back near best.

Form & Verdict
His last win was off 11lb higher over C&D last spring; well held here in last four starts but he may have done too much too soon behind a well-handicapped rival over C&D (6l second) last time; looks interesting if he can build on that and he's not ruled out.
