Form & Verdict
Capable of smart C&D form and has won on soft; showed he still has what it takes in good 6f handicaps at Newbury and Newmarket this year and no doubting he's capable of being involved if making a quick turnaround from a low-key Haydock run 15 days ago.

Finally exploited his drop in the weights when winning a C&D handicap last October (heavy ground); should come on for March's return to action at Doncaster and while slower ground would be ideal, he did run well in a fast-ground Stewards' Cup in 2020.

Absent since prevailing narrowly on heavy ground at Goodwood in October, ending a three-year losing spell; not an obvious type to follow up, especially as his record in this race (three attempts) is modest.

Form & Verdict
Losing run goes back to Listed 2yo win but he could be on the verge of putting that right as he ran well on soft at Ascot last week and a previous C&D run, when coming home strongly into third (good weights pull with the hampered Baldomero), puts him in this picture as well.

Much of her turf racing has been on good or quicker ground but she won on good to soft here in 2022 and appreciated the soft going when winning a warm 5f handicap at Ascot last week; up 6lb to a career-high mark but she's right on her game and is 2-3 over C&D.

Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider.

Not the force of old but handicapped accordingly; only seen once since February and he didn't offer a great deal; usually held up so he will need plenty of luck in running from the inside stall.

Long time since he won on turf and isn't as good now but remains consistent; returns from three months off but he can go well fresh; down to a career-low mark but he'd have preferred plenty of rain.

Suited by testing surfaces and things have fallen nicely into place twice in 2024, over C&D in May and at Doncaster (extended 6f) last month; not so effective at Ripon since but this mark shouldn't be beyond him back here.

J: Conor Whiteley

Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him.

Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now.

Ended 2025 in fine form on AW; 0-7 in 2026 but he has slipped 6lb below his last winning mark and has Toby Moore taking another 7lb off his back; suspicion a few will prove stronger.

Form & Verdict
Won two of the last three runnings (soft and good to soft; sixth in 2023) and ran near his best on Newbury return in April; lesser efforts since and he lacks a recent run but a potential reviver off a favourable mark.

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade.
