Form & Verdict
Won this last year (good to soft) on sole previous course visit and a case can also be made on this season's best efforts, including a good-ground win; however, he was well beaten on quick going at York recently and will have something to prove if such a surface prevails today.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who has won twice this year (6f, good) and was a creditable sixth of 14 at York (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; her best form has come over 6f but she should have the pace to be effective at 5f and she's dropping back down in grade this evening; can make a bold bid.

Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with.

Without a win since February 2022 and just 1-32 on turf, but he's run well when fourth off this mark on his last two starts (5f, good to firm/good), most recently at Haydock on Sunday, and he's an each-way contender.

Form & Verdict
The form of her Windsor novice win (6f, good to firm) in June has worked out well and she bounced back from her disappointing handicap debut at York (6f, good to soft) when third at Ascot (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; deserves extra credit for that latest run as her low draw looked a negative, and this unexposed 3yo has potential off her static mark.

Prolific winner, mainly in the summer, who ran as well as she ever has off tonight's career-high mark on her comeback a month ago; entitled to have come on for that at her age and boasts a solid record over C&D (won this in 2023), so enters calculations.
