Justified favouritism, by half a length, in C&D contest last week for a first win since 2024; incurs 5lb penalty but Donagh Murphy claims that amount; remains well treated on historical data anyway; respected, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
A bit in-and-out this year, but he only went down by a short head on the Polytrack here (1m; first-time cheekpieces) seven days ago; 3lb drop since then puts him back on his last winning mark and fast ground is very much in his favour; respected.

Form & Verdict
Went close on his York debut (1m, soft) last October, but went backwards after; latest fourth of seven in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (1m, good) wasn't a bad effort, but he is now 0-7 and needs plenty more if he is to get off the mark.

Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over 7f on the AW last year and ran well from the front when second of ten at Newmarket (7f, good) on his penultmate start, but he didn't back it up over C&D (good) last month and is now 0-19 on turf; changed hands for 9,000gns this month and needs to bounce back on stable debut.
