Form & Verdict
Following wind surgery he returned from some time off with a win at Catterick (7f, soft) last month; his form went the wrong way after a promising reappearance last year, and he may want slow ground, but he remains well treated back up just 3lb for last time and is not ruled out.

Has a win over C&D but that was over four years ago; hasn't backed up an encouraging third at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March in two runs since but has dropped to a career-low mark so all is not lost.

Form & Verdict
Classy 2yo in 2021 and snapped long losing sequence off reduced mark at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September; has won there twice since, most recently with plenty in hand on Sunday (7f, AW); a 5lb penalty may not stop him.

Well handicapped on last year's best form (including on turf) and ran okay when third of six at Southwell (1m, AW) last month; however, he's been hard to win with on grass and looks vulnerable back up in grade.

Front-runner who won on last turf start at Yarmouth (6f, good) last September and has added three 7f AW wins since; however, he hasn't been at his very best on his last three runs and needs a bigger performance today.

Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023.

Form & Verdict
Below par at Epsom last August on final run for Sir Mark Prescott and sold for 10,000gns in October; however, he was progressive otherwise in last season's 3yo campaign and his new trainer does well with recruits from other yards; not ruled out on stable debut; watch the betting.

Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, including a win here (6.5f) in September and a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f); returned after wind surgery with a low-key effort at York last month but he may have need that run and has claims if he can get back near best; acts on most ground and four of his six wins have been at 7f.

Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, finishing second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance and beaten just a neck in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) when last seen; has had wind surgery since; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on this return.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Julie Camacho

Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing.
