Got his head back in front at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) but was entitled to run better next time at Newmarket when good to soft ground was no excuse; bit to prove on the back of that.

The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out.

Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again.

J: Neil Callan

Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon.

Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo who has won two of her last three starts including at Salisbury (5f, good) 18 days ago; that was a last-gasp win but the form has been boosted by the placed horses since and she's only 2lb higher here; key player.

Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender.

Form & Verdict
Looked good when making a winning handicap debut in April (6f, AW) and she hasn't always had the breaks since; now drops back in trip but her latest third at Lingfield (good to firm) was a good effort under a positive ride and she's in the mix; tongue-tie added.

Looked one to follow when surging clear at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in April; things haven't gone to script since but is now only 3lb higher than for her win and she travelled well for a long way when a close fourth at Yarmouth on her penultimate run; dangerous back on AW.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 31 starts but he very nearly doubled his tally over C&D (good to firm) last month and looked unlucky; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected for in-form yard.

Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark.

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer.

Form & Verdict
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in February but he's not easy to predict and was last of seven at Sandown three weeks ago; that was on soft ground and he's still unexposed on turf but others are more persuasive.

Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed.

1-18, having won at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in February, when 3lb higher; inconsistent since then but, as he showed at Southwell last week, he is capable of being very competitive.
