7f AW novice winner in January; only effort of real note in six handicaps was his 2l fourth at Southwell two runs back (7f) and unraced on turf softer than good so has a bit to prove.

Only seen once since leaving Andrew Balding 18 months ago, when well held last October; won his novice over C&D and the hood going back on should help but it's hard to know whether he's still up to this sort of mark.

Consistent 3yo at 1m, having a straightforward task when off the mark at Pontefract (good to soft) last July; not seen to best advantage on testing surfaces in 2024 but hard to be sure that this mark is manageable.

Skipped clear of her four rivals at Haydock (1m, heavy) on third start last year; below that form on handicap debut in identical conditions the following month; withdrawn at Kempton (17-2) five weeks ago after bolting before the start; needs to prove she stays 1m2f (fourth when she tried it last May) and has nine-month absence to overcome, but she is lightly raced and may still progress.

Tried hurdling during the winter (which didn't go well) and returned to the Flat with a 7f AW success in January; could have run better back from a break at Newbury last time, but probably acts on heavy.

Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing.

Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here.

Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark.

Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year.
