Form & Verdict
Progressive since dropped to 6f, winning a Chepstow maiden and handicaps here and at Wolverhampton (strong form); pipped at the post in his bid for a four-timer at Windsor three weeks ago, a stumble near the finish probably the difference between victory and defeat; another 2lb higher and a sharp 5f presents a new challenge but he's a strong traveller and should cope; still has more to offer.

Took a while to get off the mark but he's making up for lost time, ending his 3yo campaign with two 6f wins and completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton on his reappearance last month; had subsequent winners back in third and fifth last time and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair; major player again back on turf.

J: Jack Mitchell

Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Robert Cowell

Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well.

15/2

Form: 8-2455 C

4 yo Gelding

OR: 82

Form & Verdict
Good record on AW and his mark has dropped 4lb after two lesser efforts on turf; a repeat of either of his two last two starts on AW would give him leading claims off this mark, even from the outside stall.

On a losing run but he's performed with credit in his two runs this season; well drawn and 13lb lower than at this stage 12 months ago; William Buick replaces apprentice; one to take seriously.

Form & Verdict
Four wins since November, three of them at this track (two over C&D), but that has resulted in a big rise in the weights; not at her best on turf last time but returning to this track should suit and there should be enough pace on for her to be seen to good effect; 2-2 when ridden by Oisin Murphy; major player.

Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative.
