4 yo

OR: 93

Form & Verdict
All of his 12 runs have been on turf; has a patchy record but his last win was off this mark at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last July and he bounced back with a clear second behind a well-handicapped rival at Chester (7.6f, soft) last month; has claims if he can build on that and he's fresh after just two runs this season.

Form & Verdict
5yo who is not easy to predict but he's won at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) and Ascot (7f, good to soft) this year and was a close second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; nudged up 2lb but he could make another bold bid back on Tapeta.

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 20 starts on turf but he's 5-25 on AW and is more potent in this sphere; ran into plenty of trouble when a creditable fourth at Ripon (1m, good) last Monday and he's on a workable mark on this return to Tapeta; could be a big factor if he gets a good pace and some luck.
