All three wins for Alice Haynes were on ground slower than good; had lost her way but the signs have been a tad more encouraging for James Owen and she's on a dangerous mark.

J: George Wood

Triple winner for Alice Haynes including over C&D; went the wrong way in five runs for Hugo Palmer last season but she reappeared with a creditable third on stable debut at Musseburgh (1m, good) last month; that was off 2lb lower than for her last success and has claims if she can back that up.

Lightly raced last year and ended the season quietly, but she is 2lb below her last winning mark and, although off six months, she can go well fresh; well worth a market check now starting out for another new yard.

Form & Verdict
Way down the weights going into this autumn and he staged a revival with two seconds over 1m followed by two wins over 7f; the wins were in the mud this month at Leicester and Redcar, both comfortably; he ran out of steam when favourite back at 1m here (soft) last Thursday, however.

A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind.

This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Goodwood maiden winner last September and close second here the following month, both 1m2f on soft; failed to live up to favouritism on return (1m2f, soft) but ran respectably, before a poor show over 1m on good ground in May; gelded since; a return to testing ground means he needs a second look, especially as this does not look a strong race.

Ended last season with big-field win at York (1m2f, good) in the autumn and posted another career-best performance when leading close home over C&D (good) on reappearance outing in May; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when well beaten in valuable Espom handicap on Oaks day but still enters calculations on return to this track.

J: David Probert

Won a soft-ground maiden in 2023 but peak efforts have been on good in the last 13 months; unraced here but scored twice over 1m2f at the similar Chester track, including on his only start this season; all three handicap wins were in tight finishes, but he's gone up just 3lb since latest and is likely to be seriously involved if he goes on the ground.

C&D winner (made most) on reappearance at this meeting last year and, from four return visits, he placed twice last July; ended the campaign with a career best to win at York (1m2f, good; came from midfield) in October, which sees him raised 6lb today but he has to be in serious calculations.

The big problem is that he's not won since 2022 but he was beaten only a neck off this mark at Ascot (1m, soft) three starts back, ran respectably both since and this does not look a strong race.

Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022.

Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal.

Form & Verdict
Won twice on heavy last autumn, including over C&D; five starts (three on soft) this season and has run respectably only once, so he has questions to answer alongside his reduced mark; off four months before latest.

C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark.

Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid.
