Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.

6-17 on AW and better than ever this spring, following his Lingfield win in March with a narrow defeat at Southwell; 0-8 on turf but has run well on fast ground in the past; perhaps a shade high in the weights now.

Form & Verdict
Had plenty of racing last year and this; first-time blinkers did the trick off 5lb lower on turf last month but she's gone backwards since and is some way down the pecking order.

Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing.

Well held all four starts, including on his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) off 2lb higher two months ago; early days with him still but he's hard to recommend.

Form & Verdict
Poor in three runs this year, latterly when tailed off on his first start since being gelded; perhaps the first-time hood will help him settle, down another 5lb and dropped from 6f, but a leap of faith is required.

Form & Verdict
Has often been buzzy and the return of the hood and drop from 6f both look in her favour following an ordinary effort recently back from a break; has the ability to win off this mark if things pan out early from stall 7.
