Close up over 5f on this track (good) in September but she's found little in previous 6f handicaps and there's a doubt about the suitability of soft ground, too.

Back-to-back wins at Hamilton last September (6f); regular cheekpieces were left off for return and he shaped as if needing the run; can build on that in refitted headgear here; last AW run (over C&D) was his best effort on an artificial surface.

Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field.

Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution.

No win in his first 23 starts but he made the breakthrough at Catterick (6f, soft) in October and followed up with a strong-finishing success over C&D; flopped back at this track in November but he had a wide trip and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate run; needs a close look back from a break.

Lost chance at the start last time but he'd won two of his previous four starts, making all on the AW and at Ripon (soft); had also won one of just two earlier 6f runs on soft which makes him of interest here, providing he gets away on terms.
