Form & Verdict
Just a single win to go with nine defeats at 9-2 or shorter; is quite capable at this level but was turned over at 6-4 in one previous run on Tapeta and hasn't been the most consistent this year.

Form & Verdict
Made all when easily winning C&D maiden last winter and the return here won't hurt, having not seen out 6f when among the favourites off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle eight weeks ago; considered in first-time tongue-tie.

J: Jonny Peate

Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field.

Form & Verdict
All wins have come in the second half of the year, four on Tapeta; has enjoyed a consistent season but high enough in the weights as a result and it's no coincidence that most victories have come in bigger fields (can pull hard and usually held up).

The winner of 11 races, three of them at this track; two good runs last month, including a Catterick success, but he was a shade disappointing at Carlisle last time; should make another bold bid here and drying ground will be in his favour.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Knows how to get his head in front (11 wins) and has been going well on good to firm ground this month, winning at Catterick (6f) and going down by a short head over this C&D; 1lb well in, but all six turf wins have come on good or faster ground so rain could be a problem.

Form & Verdict
Four wins, including two here, came over 6f and he was having just a second crack at 5f when done for pace throughout at Wolverhampton last time; there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark back from a break.

Multiple 6f AW winner who is 0-16 on turf, where his better efforts have been on slow ground; AW form has tailed off recently and he looks in need of a revivial if he's to break his turf duck.

Veteran who's nothing like as good as he was and has become hard to win with; strong chance he misses the break and/or pulls hard and he'll need things to fall just so.

Form & Verdict
No problem with 1m2f last winter and has struggled for pace in two recent 5f runs; perhaps a first-time visor, in place of cheekpieces, will help sharpen him up but even then it's hard to view 5f as being optimal.

J: Richard Kingscote

T: Ian Williams

His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race.
