Form & Verdict
C&D winner off this mark in April; enough solid efforts since to think he was still in form and his proven ability in the mud will stand him in good stead here.

J: Kieren Fox

T: Michael Attwater

Veteran who is often a zestful front-runner; no win since August 2023 but 5-15 at Windsor overall and, surprisingly, his last race here was that latest win; close second on Kempton AW (1m4f) on recent reappearance also returns him to calculations and he's won on a wide variety of ground.

Veteran who is often a front-runner but he's not won since August 2023 and he's been well beaten in his two starts this year; on career-low mark but he has a lot to prove.

12-race maiden; went close in a modest 1m maiden at Ffos Las last month but he was put in his place in a 1m2f handicap at Newbury (soft) 11 days ago; cheekpieces need to make a big difference.

Four times a winner, including over this trip, and he ran well for third at Lingfield last month (1m2f, AW); seems to handle soft ground but his two turf wins have come on good.

Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard.

Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races.

Currently 0-20 but he has been run well in five of his six starts this year (2m an excuse on the other occasion); Oisin Murphy an eyecatching booking; cheekpieces back on; promise on good to soft but unraced on slower.

Form & Verdict
Got up late to win a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW; cheekpieces first time); not disgraced the next twice but his form dipped markedly back on turf 12 days ago (second heavy defeat in two turf runs); something to prove on grass, not least his ability to handle heavy ground.
