Form & Verdict
Yet to win this season but ran well in defeat in higher-grade company at Leicester (1m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) 12 days ago and remains 6lb lower than when close second over C&D (good) in April; needs to be taken very seriously.

Well suited by switchback tracks and is on his last winning mark but he offered very little for his new yard at a big price on his recent comeback; headgear goes back on (first-time cheekpieces).

The latest of his seven wins on turf was in April 2024 off today's mark; out of form on last three starts last year, including with slow starts, and has since left the Newland/Insole stable; no tongue-tie or other headgear today, for the first time since 2021.

Form & Verdict
In good form in recent months, most notably when clinging on well to make virtually all at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) in July; also suited by faster ground and ought to go well from the front again here.

Form & Verdict
Doesn't help herself by tending to race too freely but returned to form with two C&D wins on good to firm in June/July and was second off mark 1lb higher than today's over C&D last month; below form over 1m here a fortnight ago but no surprise if she quickly bounces back.

All six of her wins have been at either Brighton or Yarmouth, and she's been off since finishing fifth of 12 at the former track in October; handles most underfoot conditions but may need this return.

Fifth in this last year (Blue Collar Lad second); her six wins have been split evenly between here and Yarmouth (7f-1m) and she seems to handle most underfoot conditions; her staying-on fourth at Leicester (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago offers some hope.

Form & Verdict
Front-running veteran who hasn't won since summer 2021; posted sound effort when third off today's career-low mark at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month but some of the younger ones have more appealing profiles.

8 yo Mare

OR: 63

Form & Verdict
Often races too freely but this prolific mare gained two of her 11 wins over C&D and is versatile regarding ground; however, didn't fire here a fortnight ago and, even if back on song, may remain vulnerable off career-high mark.
