Form & Verdict
No longer the force of old but has enjoyed a mini-revival and has won twice this season (11.4f/1m6f); makes quick reappearance after respectable fourth here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; probably won't be far away.

Five turf wins, most recently at Ffos Las (1m6f, good to soft; other wins on good or quicker) in July 2024; suffered two heavy defeats this year but refitting regular cheekpieces could make a difference.

Five wins include two on this course, over 1m4f (good) and 1m6f (good to soft); handicapper has given him a chance and he should come on for a remote third of four here in July following a layoff; form chance.

Form & Verdict
A maiden after eight starts but scores fairly good marks for her consistency and was keeping on well at the end of 1m2f when midfield at Chepstow (good) last month; 2lb lower here and the move back up in trip ought to suit; each-way claims at least.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner this year (1m6f/2m) and came second off today's mark on turf at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) in June; may not have handled good to soft ground when disappointing on latest outing but still has something to prove after that performance, and this drop back in trip is not sure to suit.

Both wins on AW (1m6f and 2m) but she acts on turf and is closely matched with Hawk Jet on a recent Salisbury run (1m6f); has possibilities but could probably do with the ground drying out.

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement when runner-up in two 1m2f handicaps for Sir Mark Prescott in May but was very disappointing odds-on favourite on next outing and then sold for £9,000 last month; could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip but it's hard to know what to expect from him on debut for new stable.

Disappointed when favourite on penultimate start and faded into fifth after racing a bit too freely on latest outing, but ran big race from the front when third on seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May and may yet build on that performance; tries a new trip today.

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.
