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.

Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims.

6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes.

Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today.

His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor.

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.
