Form & Verdict
Sole win in 6f novice at Newcastle as 3yo; yard's handicappers often progress well but this one, despite being in good form, has yet to look ahead of his mark; not impossible he'll improve for the switch to Polytrack.

4-29 AW; close third off this mark here (6f; 12-1) in June; has left Michael Keady for 3,000gns since last appearance; interesting to see how he responds to the change of scenery.

Was back off his last winning mark when beaten a head and a nose into third of 12 over C&D last month (second and fourth have won since); up 1lb and drawn wider this time, but still one for the shortlist.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Modest strike-rate but he wasn't on a bad mark on yard debut at Bath (5f) last week and he made all to win with a little up his sleeve; his best Tapeta form suggests he can make a go of it under a penalty on first Polytrack run, with this sharp 6f unlikely to be a problem.

His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted.

Winner over this trip but doesn't run over it often now, all starts this year having come over 5f; continues to tumble down the weights but has struggled in two runs back on turf latterly and others make more appeal.

Has six wins to his name but yet to score for his current trainer; best recent effort when runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; not out of this.

Form & Verdict
Has had a tremendous year and she added to earlier wins, including a C&D classified and a Wolverhampton handicap, when scuttling well clear at Chepstow (6f) last week; likely due a bigger rise than today's 5lb penalty; every chance.

Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts.

Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error.

Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer.

Form & Verdict
Often leads; has C&D form but hasn't run on the AW since June 2023 and her recent turf efforts haven't been encouraging.
