Landed a gamble over C&D 12 months ago (in this combination of accessories for the first time); ended 2025 quietly and he was well beaten on last month's return to action (no accessories); has plenty to prove but it wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue were he to revive.

Sole victory came first time up last season, back from a similar break, so has that in his favour; lost his way in 2025, however, and the usual hood and tongue-tie are both missing.

Not at his best on turf lately but is consistent on Tapeta (224133), the win coming by a short head off 1lb higher in a nursery over C&D last November; 5lb lower than when third of eight at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and interesting back on the AW.

A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well.

Didn't progress for Eve Johnson Houghton but went close to justifying favouritism on his stable debut at Chelmsford last week (6f), leading in the final furlong but outstayed by the rallying winner (pair clear); 3lb well in and should have the pace for 5f; big chance.

Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latter achieved in smooth fashion at the beginning of this month; never a threat when fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, soft) ten days ago, taking turf record to 0-9; the headgear she's worn on her last ten starts is left off here.

Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous.

Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries.
