J: Saffie Osborne

T: William Knight

7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player.

Prominent racer; did best of the group to race on the stands' side when third in a 5f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; well handicapped on last summer's best and he has a good record at Bath; shortlisted.

9st 0lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: William Knight

Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April.

Form & Verdict
Reinvigorated by the addition of cheekpieces, winning a small-field 6f handicap at Carlisle three weeks ago and following up at the same track five days later, tanking through the race and having plenty to spare; up 7lb in a better race but foolish to discount in current form.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to win a 6f handicap at Catterick last month (good to soft); still has handicapping scope on turf but he needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run at Thirsk last week.

Well treated on last year's best and he hinted at a full revival on his reappearance at Doncaster in April (6f, soft); disappointing since, including at Thirsk last week, and he'll be 3lb lower from the weekend.

C&D winner in 2022, with no joy from nine subsequent visits but most of those were over shorter, whereas his last four wins (elsewhere) have been at about 7f; he's now 1lb lower than when making all at Beverley last September and a case can be made.

Become more difficult to win with in recent years and although he's run several good races in defeat this year, he would be more appealing over 5f and on softer ground.

Just the one win to her name but she was banging at the door in AW handicaps early in the year (5f-7f); no so good back on turf the last twice, however, and cheekpieces are now replaced by new blinkers.
