Form & Verdict
Record of 1-47 sounds alarm bells but he's 6lb lower than when runner-up over C&D in May; latest third of 11 in a 0-50 classified event at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) was also a fair effort (first and fourth have won since).

J: Ryan Kavanagh

Seven-time AW winner who was a creditable third in classified event at Wolverhampton (5f) two weeks ago; this step back up in trip is no problem but he's 0-17 on turf and was tailed off at Doncaster on his penultimate run.

Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however.

Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet.

Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts.

Multiple AW wins; much less prolific on turf but he was running over 5f on grass for the first time since a 2024 win when getting up near the line at Bath (firm) recently under James Glennon; has an awkward draw but this track may also suit; has to be considered.

Form & Verdict
Both wins over 6f on the AW late last year including one here; off six months before third of nine at Bath (5f, good) in June, but pulled his chance away over 6f back here last time; has a bit to prove over a sharp 5f like this.

Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
Appreciated the drop in trip when off the mark at the seventh attempt in a 0-50 classified event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; a further drop in trip poses a question back in a handicap, but he does come into this in form.
