Form & Verdict
Hold-up performer who's well handicapped having run well back from two months off over C&D recently; perhaps a bigger field would have been ideal under Tom Marquand, who's 0-20 for the yard, but this may well be run to suit.

Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well.

Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted.

Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt.

Boasts four seconds and a win from five runs on Polytrack, mainly from the front, following Sunday's Lingfield victory; needs a bit more if she's to defy the 5lb penalty but that's quite possible.

Form & Verdict
C&D win three months ago came off a 2lb higher mark and this is easier back in cheekpieces, having unseated his rider at the start in blinkers round Lingfield last time; there's no obvious reason he won't go well.

Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level.

Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Win last summer came over 7f and has done her racing since over 6f-1m; another solid effort here three weeks ago, having met a bit of early traffic in the first-time visor, and has claims if dealing with the sharper test in a first-time tongue-tie.
