Form & Verdict
Winning stable debut here (1m4f) in December and although rather treading water since he ran well enough in his one 2m run on Tapeta to think he could be suited by 1m6f; off since running poorly on Polytrack in March but has won twice after a break so he could return with a bang.

5-19 on AW and 0-9 on turf; twice close up over 1m4f on turf last year, including off this mark at Chester, but is also a dual 1m6f winner on AW and has at least one piece of 2m form in that sphere; a case can be made if he's tuned up sufficiently after 259 days off; the market may guide.

Form & Verdict
Won maiden on Newcastle Tapeta as 3yo; progressive stayer on turf since, although he couldn't keep the momentum going over 1m3f here in August and heavy ground found him out at Newbury recently; still time for him to excel over this trip on AW.

Won this (good to firm) on return last year by a neck off 4lb higher than today; subsequent efforts have never quite lived up to that, albeit runner-up on Kempton AW last September and this March; first 1m2f run for ages when disappointing on latest start; could bounce back with each-way claims.

Had dropped 3lb below his last winning mark when second of nine behind course-specialist Whitcombe Rockstar at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month, his first start in 75 days; races off the same mark, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in three years; stable runs three.

Form & Verdict
Two 1m4f Leicester wins in July; failed to shine on soft ground in October but he didn't give up his lead lightly back on AW here last week; can go well back over 1m6f with first-time visor replacing blinkers.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Jack Jones

Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached.

Form & Verdict
Three turf wins and also one over hurdles (maiden; in June); two good efforts in defeat when switched to Tapeta (over 1m4f and 2m) before Christmas but not so good at the start of 2024 and he checked right out back on the Flat in July; has left Jack Jones since; capable on a good day.

Five wins from 43 starts, the most recent at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last January off a mark 10lb higher than today's; bounced back from a disappointing run when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on this track but he's poured it on at Newcastle on last two starts, finding plenty for both wins, the latest under a penalty just three days after getting off the mark in October; raised a further 6lb up slightly in trip but looks progressive.

Three front-running wins at 1m4f, on AW and turf (good to soft; effective on good), but he doesn't have to lead, as shown when held up before having a tight passage behind an improver at Kempton (1m3f) in February; rare to see him over 1m2f but he has a good run in him back on turf.
