Form & Verdict
Won over C&D and at Kempton (7f) last season; well treated on his best form in 2023 but he has a mixed record this year and was disappointing when favourite at Newbury 11 days ago; comes with risks attached and he needs a major revival.

Kempton winner who has run well to finish placed there (7f) in her last two starts; still unexposed on turf but she was only eighth of ten at Leicester in May and has a bit to prove back in this sphere.

Sprung a 66-1 surprise at Kempton last October (7f, AW); placed in four of her five runs this season and although this shorter trip asks a new question of her, she's one to take seriously again.

Form & Verdict
Won at Brighton (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) this summer; didn't shine at Epsom on his penultimate run but he did best of the runners on the far side when third at Newmarket last time; looks interesting off 1lb lower here and drying ground would be a positive.

Looked as good as ever when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) on seasonal debut in April and again ran well over that C&D last month; didn't fire when back on turf recently (restless in stalls) but has form at this track and enters calculations.

Has a consistent record here (32142132224) and has shown enough since returning on the AW in April to suggest he remains in form; should go well.

Well suited by switchback tracks and took advantage of a handy mark when winning on his C&D comeback in April; found life tougher off his revised mark in better company here last time but this is more his speed back down 2lb.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row on AW here (7f) in February/March; generally disappointing since but he wasn't beaten far when fifth over C&D last time and that was more like it; has claims if he can build on that and he's not ruled out; hood worn last time is removed.

Best form has come here including all three wins (7f/1m); just 2lb above his last winning mark, but his record in Class 5 handicaps or higher reads 5864097 so he may again find a few too strong.

Form & Verdict
Placed in six of his 13 starts and was a fair fourth at Nottingham (6f; first-time cheekpieces) last time but he's still a maiden and needs to find more back up in trip; most of his turf runs have been on good to soft or slower.

Well handicapped on his best form and is effective in the mud but he's still maiden after 14 starts and was disappointing at Lingfield (7f, good) in August; has something to prove again after a break and others are more convincing; tongue-tie back on.
