10st 6lb |
Won twice at Stratford (3m2f/2m6f) in spring 2024 and well handicapped on those efforts but lost his way afterwards and has been absent since well-held fourth at Stratford 13 months ago; had wind op last month. |

Won this race a year ago (good to soft), his second start for Mel Rowley, and followed up off today's mark here (2m6f, good) in May; looked out of sorts in the winter when last seen but is still of some interest on return to this track. |

12st 7lb |
Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year. |

His wins have been at 3m2f and 3m; arrives here after good-ground seconds at Uttoxeter and Warwick, his second and third starts in blinkers; should be in the mix provided he takes to more new headgear. |

Not quite at her best this year but went down fighting when close second off reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) 12 days ago; went back up 3lb for that but it's worth remembering his career-best performance (in May 2024) came over this C&D on good ground. |

Displayed clear improvement when second to very progressive rival on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good) two starts ago but was slightly disappointing on soft ground there (2m5f) last month and conditions are a worry again here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Just 1-20 over hurdles for Milton Harris/Anthony Charlton and has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn; starts off for new trainer on a good mark and with conditions to suit but still needs today's headgear switch to perk him up. |

Gained two of his five hurdling wins over C&D (both in sellers) but the latest was in October 2022; ran well to a point in two recent 2m6f handicaps here (wore blinkers; doesn't today) and may benefit from this drop back in trip but younger rivals appeal more. |

10yo who has finished merely seventh on his last three starts, the latest in January; however, a break may have helped and he was returning from some time off when winning under Jamie Gambin over C&D (good) last September; now 3lb lower than for that win and not discounted. |

Beaten a neck by Fantomas when second of 16 on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in March; flopped when co-favourite off this 5lb higher mark at Stratford three weeks ago, when jockey reported that he hung right-handed, so reverting to this right-handed track may help. |
