Often leads but it's not essential; has had a good slice of the pie in 2024, winning five times since cheekpieces fitted, three over C&D (good to soft and good to firm); up 4lb for the latest one 11 days ago but is still improving.

Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade.

Won off a higher mark over 1m in Ireland last year when in new cheekpieces; ran okay in two AW races (8.6f) before an excusable failure on soft at Bath; needs considering.

Three-time Bath winner who has a win and a second to his name in two runs here (both 1m); adaptable regarding tactics but hasn't run over 7f since his 3yo days in Ireland and he's drawn widest back up to a career-high mark; wouldn't want much rain.

Won two 1m handicaps last May, including here, and back on the scoresheet in a C&D handicap three weeks ago (good to firm); that form is already working out well and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him; probably wouldn't want the ground to be worse than good.

Effective on good to soft but soft was perhaps too deep when a disappointing favourite here last month, which followed a modest run on the AW; a course winner with the form to feature if getting himself back on track.

Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider.

1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip.
