9st 8lb |
Quirky customer who often starts slowly and/or pulls hard, and again unshipped his jockey going to post last time; that race fell kindly, back on turf and without the blinkers, but he's capable off 3lb higher if they go hard in front again. |

Appeared to have halted the slide when twice finishing third last autumn off higher marks than today's; however, he's failed to threaten on his two runs this spring and is back to having something to prove. |

Front-runner; disappointing at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month but won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and he scored on turf at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last August; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold bid. |

19-race maiden who isn't straightforward and comes with risk attached having blown the start at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago; however, in the circumstances he did pretty well to be beaten about only 6l in eighth of ten and he might not be far away if breaking on terms. |

Three wins last year (1m/7f, good/good to firm) and she reappeared with an encouraging fifth at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago; ran well last June on her sole visit here and she could have a part to play. |

Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Very well handicapped on 2023 form (won over 7f); unable to get competitive during truncated campaign last year and met trouble on reappearance (40-1); carries obvious risks and may not have enough speed for this drop back to 6f, but he has tumbled in the weights and can't be ruled out entirely. |

Has tumbled down the weights and due to go down a further 4lb after today; the return of a tongue-tie and switch from cheekpieces to visor (retained) did little to halt his decline when tenth of 13 at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; others preferred. |

Dead-heated for second in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good) last month and that form puts him in the shake-up, but well beaten either side of that and he's won just one of his 24 starts. |
