Form & Verdict
Four-time Flat winner, who won over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last summer and he held a narrow lead at Southwell last month (2m4f, good) when he fell at the last; now returns to the scene of his last Flat win and he's in the mix off what looks a workable mark.

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Gary Brown

Has six wins on the Flat; sole success in this sphere came at this track (2m5f, good) in August 2024; still 6lb above his winning mark but was still in contention when brought down at the last flight over C&D (good) in April; holds place claims.

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Gary Brown

Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; has had some struggles in a light campaign this season but he showed signs of a revival at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has possibilities if he can build on that.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 5yo who has won on Tapeta in three of his last four starts including a comfortable success over C&D 16 days ago; up another 4lb but he's open to more progress and is a major player again in his bid to make it 4-9 on AW.

Dual C&D winner in November 2024, but finished miles behind Charlie Darling on his return from 11 months off back here 26 days ago; the market should indicate whether a much better effort is anticipated.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Kevin Frost

Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January).

Form & Verdict
Ended long losing run when scoring off 1lb lower at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) in November; some creditable efforts since but his form nosedived at Southwell 11 days ago and he needs to bounce back from that heavy defeat.

Triple AW winner, who has run well to finish placed here (1m6f) in her last two starts including a near miss three weeks ago; on unchanged mark and she should make another bold bid back up in trip.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Julia & Shelley Birkett

Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today.

Reasonably consistent mare who is a four-time AW scorer; clear second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) most recently; stays 2m; may remain competitive back up just 2lb.
