Form & Verdict
Notched first win since September 2021 when scoring at Chelmsford (1m2f; same mark) in January; subsequent efforts underwhelming, although there was a valid excuse over C&D (heavy; hampered leaving stalls) a fortnight ago; quicker ground helpful, and has won for Oisin Murphy previously.

Form & Verdict
Yet to win (0-18) and has run just twice on turf; placed in two of his last three AW starts (both over 1m2f at Lingfield), including when worn down in the closing stages 18 days ago; fit and well which could count for plenty against such limited opposition; one to consider.

Best effort this year when second in 1m classified at Lingfield in February but he was poor over 1m2f (a trip he stays) there last time and now 0-28; acts on turf but he needs to get back on track after a break.

T: J R Jenkins

Maiden who's done most racing over middle-distances but was fine with this trip, switched from the usual cheekpieces to a second-time visor, round Lingfield last time (winner gone in again since); easy to argue he's happier on Polytrack but has claims.

Form & Verdict
Sole win (1-31) came in a four-runner Lingfield novice (1m2f; March 2022); twice well beaten since returning from a lengthy absence; back in distance on first start for Alice Haynes; others far more obvious candidates.

Form & Verdict
Brighton specialist (four wins; 1m4f); modest AW form over the winter, and was never travelling when trailing home a distant last of 14 on C&D return (heavy, beaten 59l; hampered early) a fortnight ago; 0-6 overall at Windsor, and an unlikely candidate.
