No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider.

Third different form of headgear in as many runs when going down narrowly in the cheekpieces (retained today) over 1m here a month ago; 2lb rise is fine but it's a question of whether she'll be as good again, as consistency is not her forte.

Consistent but finishing effort sometimes leaves a bit to be desired and he raced very freely out wide when well beaten at Wolverhampton last time; however, his last run over 7f was here in September when prevailing narrowly off just 1lb lower; cheekpieces join his regular hood and they may help.

Overcame trouble in running to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off an 8lb higher mark (then trained by Alice Haynes); patchy record for new stable but his best run for them came over C&D and Tom Queally's only ride for the stable in 2024 (before this evening) finished second; can go well.

Belated return to 7f here three weeks ago and she justified market confidence with the minimum of fuss, having moved well throughout before quickening clear; 5lb rise asks a question but she has to be strongly considered.

C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run when scoring off a reduced mark here (7f) last month; up 4lb and was way below that over this trip at Chelmsford (Polytrack; 25-1) 12 days ago; bounce back required but that's not out of the question.

Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that.

Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most.
