Three 1m Polytrack wins since November, the latest in a small-field C&D claimer six weeks ago; more needed back in a handicap but he's not ruled out; cheekpieces left off today.

Front-runner; wore cheekpieces on last five starts, including three good runs (one 1m win) on Chelmsford Polytrack this February-April but below form there on latest outing; made less of an impact early in 2024 on his two runs here; wore a hood earlier in career and it's now restored; considered.

Expensive to follow for Owen Burrows last year, notably at a short price on his handicap debut; has been off for six months since a fair first run for this yard and the drop to an easy 1m may not be ideal.

Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall.

Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal.
