Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; Beverley reappearance was promising but he was only midfield in a big field at York three weeks ago; down in class but needs a full revival.

J: Jason Hart

Gained last year's two wins in August but has recorded his other two successes (2023/2024) in the month of April; drawn against the inner rail and could be a danger, provided he's in top form on seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest.

J: Pat Cosgrave

Wildly inconsistent these days but boasts a decent record round here (five wins from 19 starts); back around the mark off which he won here in March (awarded the race) and he is quite capable of bouncing back from two poor efforts on turf.

Resumed winning ways at Ayr (7f) in August and backed it up with a very good third of nine at Musselburgh (7f) a fortnight ago; blinkers go back on now and he's a player off an unchanged mark.

The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level.
