9st 0lb |
Five-race maiden who failed to improve in two handicaps last season for new stable; however, the booking of Tom Marquand catches the eye and market support should be heeded. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since 2022 but that was off a higher mark in the Carlisle Bell last summer and he ran well to finish second at Epsom (8.5f, good) last month; usually comes from off the pace and could be a big factor if he gets the breaks on this drop back in grade; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Defied a higher mark in last year's Carlisle Bell but that's his only success since 2022 and subsequent form is inconsistent; not entirely sure what to expect from this veteran. |

Only 1-14 for Richard Hannon and raced over longer trips last term (subsequently sold for 36,000gns) but needs a close look switched to this venue on first run for an Epsom yard; heed the market signals. |

The only C&D winner in this field and gained that success on penultimate appearance (last September); fairly interesting back at Epsom, assuming he retains the same level of ability aged nine. |

0-10 and was well held at Epsom last time but that was in a Class 4 on turf debut and he went close at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |

Nine-race maiden whose turn looks near, having finished second off this mark in last two AW runs (7f/1m); represents an Epsom trainer and looks shortlist material switched to this venue on turf debut. |

Has done all his winning over 7f but gives the impression this return to further is worth exploring; suited by Epsom (dual course scorer) and has defied higher marks; possibilities back here. |

Brighton specialist who has won seven times at that track but he's been out of sorts in his last four turf runs and his only success on AW was over four years ago; opposable. |

Seven wins for Richard Spencer, the most recent win in 2023; showed clear signs of decline last year and was sold for 6,500gns after final start; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

A long road back since his latest win, at Ayr (1m, good to soft; has won on soft) last September but he's favourably treated now and there have been glimmers of a revival, including at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month when slightly checked in his challenge; not discounted. |

Keen-going front-runner who looked as good as ever when winning by over 3l at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month; went up 7lb for that, though, and was comfortably reeled in after blasting off at Epsom last time. |

Dual 7f AW winner for previous yard (stays 1m); blew the start on stable/seasonal debut; 0-11 on turf but looks equipped for this assignment, having performed well in sole Epsom attempt. |
