Scored in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford (1m6f) last November but he been beaten upwards of 23l in all four starts since; now 1lb below his winning mark but he needs a refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie combination to spark a major turnaround back on turf.

Improved her AW record to 4-13 when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month and she backed that up with a good third at Newcastle (1m4f) 11 days ago; remains well handicapped on her old form and she has won here in the past; key player back up in trip.

Triple course winner (1m6f/2m) but his last success was in December 2022 and he didn't pose a threat in just two runs last year; returns after 318 days off and he has some work to do back in trip; hood reapplied.

Has a patchy profile but he's won twice this year and he bounced back with a close second on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) last month when not getting much luck behind a well-handicapped rival; could be a big factor back up in trip; cheekpieces added.
