Form & Verdict
Encouraging seventh of 24 at Royal Ascot last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) and got up in final stride at Beverley (8.4f, good) 12 days ago; she's up just 2lb for last time and Newmarket trainer is 5-15 (33%) here; can be bang there if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Campaigned mostly at about 1m; largely productive on turf/AW and has been successful in three of her last four handicap attempts (stiffer task in French Listed event since); stiff course is a plus returned to 7f; one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Beaten on all 13 starts since consecutive 2yo wins in 2022 (good/good to soft) but he's run well in defeat on two of his last three starts and drops back down in grade this afternoon; capable of having a big say.

Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form and capitalised on a reduced mark at York (1m1f, good to soft) last month, and another good run when third over this C&D (good) last time; drops back down in grade and has won here twice; solid claims.

J: Cian Horgan

T: David O’Meara

9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way.

Useful C&D winner at his best, but this veteran is without a victory since June 2024 and has offered little in a pair of handicaps (around 1m) at Doncaster and Beverley this spring; cheekpieces are retried.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Dianne Sayer

18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo.

Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance.

J: Joanna Mason

Showed he still had it what it takes when gaining his ninth course success at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September and ran well despite a 10lb rise back there 12 days later; has tended to need his reappearance in recent years.

Form & Verdict
Won three times last year (1m, good to soft/soft) and reappeared with a promising second at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; could build on that latest performance today and he's one to consider.

In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive.

8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Two wins for James Ferguson (1m/9.4f) and caught the eye when keeping on for fourth at Ayr (1m, good) on last month's stable debut; took backward step when 4l sixth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) last time but today's trip at this stiff course could prove ideal; has run well on slow ground.

J: Jason Hart

T: Dianne Sayer

Front-runner who was progressive last year (over 1m6f, 1m5f here and 2m) and finished either first or second in all five of those races, but he wasn't seen after July; a shorter break (178 days) didn't prevent a win first time out last term and he should be retained in serious calculations.

Front-runner who was progressive on turf this year (1m6f/1m5f, good/good to soft) prior to winning the Northumberland Plate consolation race at Newcastle (AW) four weeks ago on his first crack at 2m; it was a big field that day and a 5lb rise may not stop him here.
