Form & Verdict
Won off similar mark at Southwell (2m) last spring and he went close over 1m6f here in April; looks interesting on that form but he's hard to predict and was laboured back at Southwell last time; others are more solid.

Form & Verdict
His last three wins have been over 2m on AW and latest was off 3lb higher last August; had some ups and downs since but he's reached the frame in his last two starts including when runner-up over C&D in April; has another change of headgear and he's respected after a short break.

Usually ridden these days by Chloe Lyons and has form figures of 25312 this year; finished a well-held second at Chelmsford (2m) last time but that was behind a dual subsequent winner and she's only 2lb higher than for her win here (1m6f) in April; respected.

Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today.

Form & Verdict
Four Flat wins in AW handicaps (1m6f-2m, three in a hood) but the last of them was in late 2022 and there's been a general decline since; wasn't disgraced at Chelmsford (1m6f) on recent comeback for new yard but he finished behind Star Delta in that race and others are more persuasive; hood removed.

Dual-purpose performer who made a winning debut for this yard when landing a weak novice here (9.4f) in January; hasn't made a serious impact since but she's chased home handicap blots at Nottingham (2m, good) in her last two starts; still unexposed at this trip on the Flat and she's in the mix back on AW.

Turned things around with an emphatic win over C&D last month and he had no trouble following up when unpenalised at Lingfield (2m, AW); 8lb higher now but he remains well treated on old form and is a big player again in hat-trick bid.
