Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least.

J: Andrew Mullen

Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day.

Form & Verdict
Has largely held his form well in a busy year, bouncing back from a lesser run at Chester when going down by only a head at Nottingham (1m, good; dictated pace) last Sunday; first attempt at 1m2f but he has to enter the reckoning from the same mark.

Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front.

Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid.

Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached.

Ran up to his best when narrowly denied on 1m2f Ripon reappearance (good) three weeks ago; nudged up only 1lb and another bold show is likely if in similar form.

Doubled his winning tally when easily disposing of three rivals from the front under Joe Bradnam in an apprentice event at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) seven days ago; still 4lb well in despite a 2lb rise, but ground softer than good would pose a question.

Form & Verdict
Four C&D wins (good to firm-heavy) between June and September last year, including this race; this season's efforts have been no more than respectable but she's a dangerous one to discount back here having dipped to a mark in the 50s again.

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll.

Form & Verdict
Good second on his C&D reappearance (soft) in April but he has a rather mixed record so it wasn't a big surprise when he ran poorly in an admittedly competitive race at the York Dante meeting; needs a return to this venue to spark a revival.

Veteran who picked up the latest of his eight wins when scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good) last May; hasn't threatened in three starts this year, latterly in cheekpieces, and his powers of destruction may finally be on the wane; blinkers back on for the first time in over four years.
