Form & Verdict
Consistent spell culminated in two wins (turf/AW) in May; not in the same form since but record suggests this drop back to Class 5 will suit; has a strike-rate of 4-8 in this grade and he's back on last winning mark.

Has extended his losing sequence in three attempts for new yard but is interesting off current mark back at Lingfield, assuming he takes well to added blinkers; three-time course winner (AW/turf).

Form & Verdict
Record is just 1-20; has proved frustrating (form figures 22222) in cheekpieces this summer but could well go one better if this switch to an eyeshield has positive effect; either way, that recent consistency puts him in calculations.

Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices.

Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Five-time AW scorer, most recently off 1lb higher last October; 0-6 on turf but ran well at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) most recently, keeping-on second; that effort suggests her turn in this sphere is near.

Won five on the spin last season, four of them here (all 6f); running creditably in defeat this year but she needs the step back up in trip to have a positive effect if she's to win.

His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago.

Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement.

Two novice wins for previous yard; beaten only 2l in first-time visor over C&D last month on second start for new connections; possibilities in the retained headgear, provided he builds on that effort.
