Form & Verdict
His last win was in September 2023 but he was disqualified from first (jockey weighed in light) last month and has held his form with three runner-up efforts since; ran into a well-handicapped rival who made all at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last week and he's respected back on Tapeta.

Scored off 2lb lower at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February and ran his best race since when fourth of seven at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; not out of this.

Inconsistent on the AW this year, aside from winning in February and without a win on turf since 2023; his recent third at Lingfield (soft) was quite remote.

Form & Verdict
7yo who was useful in his prime; powers have been on the wane for a while but he ended a long losing run when he has awarded a Lingfield handicap (Hierarchy was disqualified) last month; only 1lb higher here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.

J: George Wood

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again).

Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering.

Form & Verdict
Generally reliable 4yo who justified support when scoring on his drop back to 6f here three weeks ago; up 3lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should go well again from a good draw.

Consistent 5yo who came clear with the second when justifying market support last weekend at Lingfield (6f, soft); carries a 5lb penalty and Myla Coppins claimed 7lb on Saturday, so these terms are tougher; still a likely contender and any rain welcomed.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who rolled back the years with a come-from-behind success at Newcastle (5f) in December; held in three runs since but he caught the eye with his late headway at Newcastle (fourth of ten) on Friday; that was a creditable effort after a slow start and he's not ruled out back up in trip.

Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player.
