J: Sam James

T: Geoffrey Harker

Front-runner who was admirably consistent in the second half of last year and reappeared with a good second at Newcastle in March; however, after a lesser run at Thirsk he was beaten a long way at Redcar only 16 days ago, and needs to leave that latest performance miles behind.

J: Sam James

Front-runner; came second at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March and ran well until weakening into fifth at Thirsk (1m, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month but, off current mark and over this trip, his chance is probably reliant on an uncontested lead.

Just two wins from 31 starts but this front-runner often runs well and he was a close second on his reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March; had to work hard early to lead from wide draw at Thirsk (1m, good) last time so that fifth of 13 was a creditable performance; he's one to consider.

Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer.

Always had his quirks and again hung left when a beaten-favourite at Southwell last time; usually dropped in and that will likely be the case again from the outside stall, in which case he'll need things to pan out ideally down from 7f.

0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light.
