Form & Verdict
No win since June 2022 but last season's best efforts read well, particularly as they came over C&D on testing ground (beaten a head in one on heavy); absent since a below-par run last November but needs a close look.

Listed winner in Ireland as a 2yo but he's gone downhill in the last two years and was well held in both runs for current yard; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 2-32 and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Two handicap wins last October (6f, soft) and close third of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good) this March; that latest form reads well (he has the same mark today) and although he was a disappointing favourite on good ground at Haydock eight days ago, he may well be worth a second chance.

Six wins at 6f on good to soft and soft; finished his race off on the front foot at York's Ebor meeting, on first start for 11 weeks, and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; the more rain the better for him and he's an interesting contender.

The winner of three of his five starts in cheekpieces, including a smooth success at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on return in March; failed to fire at Epsom (6f, soft; behind Sondad) 11 weeks ago but this stablemate of Evening Saigon shouldn't be passed over lightly.

Well suited by soft/good to soft ground; has a record of 3-4 since wearing cheekpieces, most recently winning at Doncaster (6f) ten weeks ago; respected in the retained headgear, with further progress possible.

Form & Verdict
His four turf wins have come on softer than good, with the latest at Newbury (6f, heavy) last October; three encouraging runs this season when the ground did not look ideal, including when a front-running third with blinkers replacing cheekpieces over C&D last time; should be in the mix again.

J: Oliver Hoodless

T: Richard Hughes

Reliable operator on AW, which saw his mark rise before he was below form at Newcastle (33-1) in June latest, after three months off; he's effective at this track (including a win under 7lb claimer) but his 2025 turf form isn't good enough.

Dual AW winner in 2023 but didn't see much action last year; left Hugo Palmer for 16,000gns last July and first start since when eighth of nine at Wolverhampton this March; below form sole start on softer than good.

Turned things around with a win at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month but he was only seventh of ten in his follow-up bid at Wolverhampton (favourite); used to act on Polytrack; in-form yard also runs Split Elevens; inconsistent.

Form & Verdict
Won here (7f) in June 2023; sparked only once from five subsequent visits but that was when a close third in this race last year and he did win well on soft ground at Bath last October (1lb higher today); creditable reappearance was far better than second start this term; 7lb claimer is recruited.

8yo who hasn't been at his best on his last three starts, most recently 8l third of seven over C&D (soft; has won on such ground over C&D); however, he has a solid record at Goodwood and is 3lb lower than when runner-up here (7f, good) in May; not ruled out.

Best with positive tactics, as when leading until well inside final 1f at Goodwood in May; only tenth at Epsom on Oaks day but that was a warm race and he's had a break since; goes well on soft ground; possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on soft; 9lb lower than when touched off in this race last year (good) and 5lb claimer joins the cause today; there's been a lack of impact this season, however, following wind surgery, and there's another change of headgear today; strike-rate of 1-21 helps to temper enthusiasm.

Four wins from 37 starts, the most recent at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in December; got behind early at Southwell last time after short of room leaving the stalls but then kept on into seventh; each-way contender with refitted cheekpieces replacing regular hood.

Seen much more often on turf than the AW but he did win on sand at Chelmsford (7f) last December and has since shown useful course form over 6f and 7f; down the field at Doncaster most recently but would have a squeak if back to his C&D form in March.

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style.
