Front-runner; gained back-to-back wins in the middle of 2022 and 2024 and has done so again this year following recent victories at Chepstow (1m4f, good) and Windsor (good); the hat-trick has just eluded him so far, but hard to rule out in his current form.

Front-runner; it's eyecatching that he's won over this trip in his only two handicap starts at Windsor (2022 and August 2024); last year's was middle leg of a hat-trick (following a long break) on wide range of ground and he reappeared with a Chepstow win four weeks ago; up 6lb to career-high mark but did it well and looks sure to have a big shout.

Form & Verdict

Can flatter to deceive, like when trading at 11-10 in-running before giving best to Enthused at Southwell two runs ago having beaten him at Chelmsford in January; ran better than finishing position suggests latest but is two poor runs from two here.

Running well enough to think she can be involved to some extent but her convincing Bath win at about 1m3f in August came on firm ground and she has more to prove with the recent rain.

Fair effort when fourth of nine on his return from 212 days off at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) last month (winner has gone in again three times since), but a record of 2-35 sounds a note of caution.

Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over 1m4f on the AW in March and showed she could handle turf when third of eight at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago; the return to this slightly longer trip should suit and she's respected down 1lb.
