On dangerous mark and is versatile ground-wise but his last win was in 2023 and he's struggled in both runs this season; has lots to prove and he needs a big turnaround after a break.

Serial slow starter who's done most recent racing over 7f and looked to find this trip stretching her a couple of times; capable if getting away and finding the race setting up for her but she's been expensive to follow in 0-50 company latterly.

Promise on turf last summer and has made good progress on AW since November, winning five times here (three over today's distance); came up short over C&D last month and the handicapper may now have her measure.

All wins at 6f, including on AW at Kempton at start of career; in top form with pair of victories at Chepstow in June and showed he's effective over 7f when collared on the line at Salisbury under Imogen Mathias last month; stamina an obvious worry tackling 1m for the first time on his 51st start but he might get away with it round here.

All wins over 6f, on good to firm and good ground, the last two at Chepstow in June; has something to prove back over 7f, let alone on a stiff track like this, but he's still on a much-reduced mark and he might get away with this trip in an uncompetitive race.
