Form & Verdict
Won last summer on his first four starts once stepped up to 1m2f, on a range of ground, and he reappeared with another significantly improved effort when mowing down three of today's rivals to grab a 16-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good); can be ridden more prominently than he was that day and, although up another 4lb, it's hard to rule out further progress.

Rattled off a four-timer (good to firm/good/soft) in 2024 and landed his first two starts of 2025, latterly the City & Suburban (also 1m2f) at Epsom in April; just one good run from four starts in Meydan this winter but his British return, when second at Goodwood with two of these behind six weeks ago, could be a run to build on.

Form & Verdict
Versatile regarding ground and trip; had a solid season overall (1m6f and 1m2f winner) last year and reappeared with a creditable fifth of 16 at Doncaster last month when three of today's rivals had his measure but not by much; can make the running if necessary and he too is in the mix if he adapts to this track.

Has won twice at this track, albeit in very different races to this; 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April and ran well again when third at Sandown this month on good to firm; each-way player if he's in the same form.

5 yo Gelding

OR: 93

Form & Verdict
Unraced here, won sole start at Chester; extremely solid sequence at about 1m2f last July-October and, having won a maiden hurdle in February, he was as good as ever when close fourth of 16 off this mark to City Of Delight and Magico at Doncaster (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last month; comes from off the pace and that latest start was far from the first time he's met trouble in running; well capable of a bold show if he gets the breaks.

Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance.

Form & Verdict
Had 1m2f wins last May and September, latterly having to bide her time when she scored in last-gasp fashion at Haydock (good to soft; acts on good to firm); needs to improve but that's possible in this second season handicapping and the form of her stable is no disincentive.

Campaigned mostly at shorter but latest effort (1m3f, AW debut) suggests this return to 1m4f is worth exploring; back on last winning mark and ran well in sole Goodwood attempt; clear possibilities.

Won twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) late last year and never better than when winning at Pontefract (1m2f, good) eight days ago, seeing as he did it by 7l after leading in the final 1f; below form sole start here (last May) and carries a 5lb penalty but he has to be in calculations.

Five turf wins but has done most of his winning on the AW; surprising to see blinkers back on having won in a visor at Chester last month and then beaten only 4l in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood; if that doesn't backfire then has possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Third in a maiden here early in career; gelded in November and improved form when beaten a neck over 1m2f at Chelmsford (AW) and Doncaster (good) in his two starts this season; wore first-time cheekpieces in the latter, unleashing a fine burst to hit the front in the final 1f before he was himself cut down by City Of Delight; bit more to prove on good to firm; up 2lb but can defy that if things fall right for him.

Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form.
