Form & Verdict
Has had few chances over 2m on Polytrack but he impressed when beating Zoran in this race last year; two good efforts at Chelmsford (2m) and over C&D later in the year and although he hasn't shot the lights out in 2025 he'll be suited by the return to 2m; good run on the way.

Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month, after a break, and ran at least as well when close/clear second over that C&D three weeks later; can make presence felt again over this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Has won over 2m on Polytrack elsewhere but his two wins in 2024 came on Tapeta, at 1m4f and 1m6f; had a quiet end to his latest campaign which ended in August but is quite temptingly treated again now; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Has done his winning at 1m4f (turf) and 1m6f on Southwell Tapeta; seemed a little stretched by 2m on the latter track in December and his stamina will have a workout with this likely to be run at a good pace.

Won a 1m novice at Kempton in September 2023 but 0-10 in handicaps since; did catch the eye when third at Kempton (1m3f) back on AW in November but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing remote third at Chelmsford (1m6f) latterly; the return to 1m4f may help but others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Front-runs; reliable over C&D and after running well in a higher grade in December he took advantage of the drop in class in January, when fending off Robusto; brushed aside at Lingfield (has form on that track) in February but rested since and should give it a good shot back here.
