Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |

It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

Has recorded the majority of his wins on Newcastle AW; below par over C&D ten days ago, failing to build on his Hamilton effort; still hasn't scored on turf since 2022. |

Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

He's produced some reasonable performances this season, including over 6f here, but he remains a maiden after 15 starts and needs something extra today in first-time cheekpieces. |

Dual C&D handicap winner who's run respectably on his last five starts (all classifieds); beaten just 1l (7f; first-time blinkers, now removed) at Newcastle one week ago and he'll likely be on the premises once more. |

Infrequent winner (3-39), who is not easy to predict but her last success came off this mark and she caught the eye with her strong finish over C&D (fifth of 11) last Thursday; ran into some trouble at a crucial stage in the race and she's an interesting contender. |

All three wins at Kempton (7f/1m) for Tom Clover and placed a couple of times on turf for this yard during the autumn; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when ninth of 12 here (7f) five weeks ago, but wouldn't have won anyway and still to prove he can act on Tapeta. |
