Form & Verdict
Not as good now but the return of cheekpieces has helped and he ended a long losing run at Bath last time (record there now 131); any rain would be in his favour upped 4lb.

J: Paddy Bradley

Yet to win in 2024 but he's run some sound races in defeat; rarely seen on AW these days but his last run here saw him record an RPR of 71 over 6f (March 2023); not ruled out.

Multiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender.

J: David Probert

T: Michael Attwater

Back-to-back wins in 2023 (extended 5f, good to soft; 6f, soft), the latter off 2lb higher; slow to get in the swing this year but he put up a better show when third of five at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time, when persevering well; this slower ground should suit; weights chance.

Form & Verdict
Makes his debut for a fourth yard (bought for just £1,400) off the back of a short break; has done well in the autumn before and is fine on any ground but has always been happiest at Nottingham/over 5f and there's not much wiggle room off this mark.

Handles most ground and went close off this mark at Nottingham (5f, soft) in July but he's not hit the same level since including in two runs for this yard; now drops back in trip but he needs to find more.

Hey Mr

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Alexandra Dunn

Handles most ground and both his wins have come at this track (5f); only 1lb higher than for his close second here in July and he made a decent start for this yard when a rallying second of four at Brighton (6f, soft) two weeks ago; now goes back up in grade but he's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Three-time course winner who does most of his racing here; has come a stone down the weights in the past year and become unpredictable, latterly when never looking like justifying favouritism over C&D a fortnight ago.

Eight-time winner at up to 7f; made virtually all when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April, but he's not hit the same level since and was only sixth of eight at Windsor last time; now back below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game.

Form & Verdict
Done a lot of his racing over further but improved during the summer for the drop to 6f, kicking off with his C&D win off 8lb lower in July (for Billy Loughnane, who rode out his 3lb claim last week); now has to prove this mark within range.

Course winner who is well handicapped on his best form of last year, but he's been out of sorts in three runs for new yard (6f-1m) this spring; has plenty to prove and he needs a big turnaround; another change of headgear.
