In a fine run of form for David Simcock during 2024, over 1m6f/2m on the AW and fast ground; effective on soft as well but has a long absence to overcome.

Both wins on AW (1m6f and 2m) but she acts on turf and is closely matched with Hawk Jet on a recent Salisbury run (1m6f); has possibilities but could probably do with the ground drying out.

Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider.

Turf wins at 1m6f (good to soft) and 2m (good); quite well treated now and his AW reappearance was encouraging but he didn't fare so well back on turf in June and it's two years since he was risked on good to firm ground.

Well handicapped on his best form and he returned from a lengthy absence with a fair fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m6f) last month; could be dangerous if he can build on that but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting.

2-24 on turf compared to 9-43 on the AW; completed an AW hat-trick when winning at Chelmsford (1m6f) in February off a 2lb lower mark, but he was too free over 2m at Lingfield (good) 23 days ago; dropping back in trip should suit.

Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break.
