Signed off for Kevin Frost with narrow course win (1m5f, good) last summer but his three subsequent runs for Linda Perratt were disappointing and he returns from a 224-day break with quite a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Ready win at Brighton in April (1m2f, good); no progress since but he was third behind a big improver at Thirsk 16 days ago (runner-up won since) when upped to 1m6f; one to consider.

Juvenile hurdler who failed to build on his Southwell effort when comfortably held at Kelso; just ordinary on the Flat and lacks potential; may find better opportunities in handicaps soon.

Fair on Flat at up to 1m6f for Jack Channon, winning three times, and he shaped nicely when a close second of nine at Southwell (2m, good to soft) on hurdling debut, making the odd mistake but keeping on; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 4yo who comes here on the up, following a breakthrough win here (1m3f, good) with a solid second back here last week; likely to stay this far and she's a strong contender for the stable who have won this race in the last two years.

Gained all three of her 2025 wins over this C&D, the most recent on penultimate start; no certainty to make a successful reappearance, having never scored when fresh, but market support should be heeded.

In and out on AW over the winter (after a wind op) but he's returned to turf in good order, winning at Ayr (1m5f, good) last month and similar form in defeat twice since (including C&D); another big run on the cards.

No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff.

A fair Flat/hurdles winner for Rebecca Menzies but he's yet to offer much in three runs for his current yard, well held in a pair of 2m handicap hurdles last month; he's hard to warm to.
