Form & Verdict
Front-runner who's been inclined to pull hard and hang right since returning from a year off; goes beyond 5f for the first time on his turf debut and will need to settle if he's to see it out, but stable form couldn't be much better.

J: Joey Haynes

T: Chelsea Banham

Front-runner whose sole success on turf came here over 6f in April 2024 (good to firm); his five other wins have been on the AW and he went close over 6f at Wolverhampton two months ago; likely to face competition for the lead from Diomed Duke.

Regressive maiden who has been absent for five months and goes without the headgear worn for most of last season; tonight's career-low mark should be within range but other make greater appeal.

Finally off the mark when scrambling home (7f, AW) in February off a 4lb lower mark; below that level last time and needs more back on turf; could probably have done without the drying weather.

Dual C&D winner (also third last month) who made a successful start for the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable over 6f at Newmarket (good) 13 days ago, well on top at the finish and recording a career-best RPR; had the advantage of the rail but his 7lb rise is offset by Toby Moore's claim and his record here affords him respect.
