J: Luke Catton

T: Jim Boyle

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 72

Form & Verdict
Won second time out last year (early April; heavy) having made his comeback at Wolverhampton; there's a fair chance history repeats itself having hit traffic 11 days ago, albeit he's unproven on this sort of ground or on undulating courses.

Form & Verdict
Four-time winner for Richard Fahey who proved patchy last season and was picked up for 20,000gns in January; new trainer has rejuvenated many older handicappers picked up from elsewhere and this one is shortlisted under James Doyle (2-4 for the yard).

In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue.

Progressed nicely last season but his two wins, latterly off a 6lb lower mark, came on soft ground and he's finished well held in two starts back (AW); yard has made a bright start to the year but he may need help from the handicapper now.

Has done most racing in sprints and has achieved little in five runs over this trip; won first time out as a 3yo, so has that in his favour, but stamina would have to be a concern over this stiff 7f.

Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain.

Lacked consistency last season but responded well to the blinkers going on, notching two wins over a stiff 7f (including C&D); her yard's been struggling for winners of late and she'll need a career best off this mark back from over six months off.
