Form & Verdict
13-time AW winner (including twice over C&D) who usually races prominently; back off the same mark as when dead-heating for first at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) last December and he could enjoy an uncontested lead; respected under Oisin Murphy.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
Scored three times on turf last year and, having dropped a long way in the weights, he returned to winning form over this C&D last month; narrowly beaten off his higher turf mark here (6f, good) last time and seems likely to make his presence felt.

Consistency not his strong suit, but he is 2-5 over C&D and latest heavy defeat excusable on account of his wide draw; capable if on a going day.

Soft-ground 5f win last April on one of her two visits to this track; three wins in the meantime, latest on Wolverhampton AW (6f) this May; no show on latest start but plenty of 2023 turf form (acts on any going) gives her a big shout.

Form & Verdict
Six wins on the AW, including two over C&D (both in 2022); just 1lb higher than when winning narrowly at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month, but he needs to put a modest effort at Chepstow last time behind him.

11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break.
