Form & Verdict
Made all to win a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton in good style in November; stiff tasks on his first two runs this year, shaping okay in a 7f Listed event at Newmarket in May; stopped quickly on his handicap debut back in June (6f, good to firm); career best required.

Had wind surgery prior to 6f success on finals day at Newcastle last time, taking AW record to 4-9; no certainty to follow up, being only 1-8 on turf and back on a tougher mark.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Smart form in 2024, including over C&D; only ran once in 2025 and he has finished out of the places in all three starts this year but that doesn't tell the whole story as he made some striking late headway into sixth over C&D in January; he has undergone wind surgery since last seen and now sports a tongue tie; looks on a dangerous mark and could be a major player if he can avoid forfeiting too much ground at the start.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Has bundles of ability but slow starts have become a feature and he hasn't been able to get away with it in good company; latest Newcastle effort offered hope of a revival and he has won over 7f in the past; handicapped to win and one to keep a close eye on, especially with Newcastle on Good Friday in mind.

Form & Verdict
A poor run on desperate ground at Goodwood aside his career has been one of steady progression and he took his form to a new level with a comfortable C&D success two weeks ago; 5lb rise to contend with but may not have reached his ceiling just yet.

Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere.

Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered.

Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over this trip as a 2yo and looked booked for bigger things when coming from a poor position to win a 6f Class 2 at Newcastle in July; flopped in the Shergar Cup before finding the drop to 5f counting against him at Newcastle a fortnight ago; still not fully exposed and the quicker they go early the better.

Consistency has been an issue this year, following a good second at Chester (6f, good) in July with two heavy defeats; they have been in Listed company but should still have shown more; C&D winner last summer; not discounted back in a handicap.

Seen more regularly on turf and it's over two years since her one AW win (6f) but she's been running well off much-reduced mark of late; shouldn't be too far away if no ill effects from leaving off the headgear.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over C&D last season; gained his first turf success in Dubai in January (7f) and even better form in defeat over 6f there the following month; has not won since returning to Britain but ran well over 7f here in July and again at Newbury last time when leaving the impression the return to sprinting would suit; should be in the thick of it.

His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip.

Three wins all came over 7f and she's having a first ever crack at this trip, under a jockey who can't claim his usual 5lb; has a good bit to find and Perdika looks her trainer's best chance.
