Form & Verdict
Eyeshields removed and ended a two-year winless run when seeing it out well at Newmarket (7f, good; from 4lb lower); not in the same form at Chepstow or Brighton since, so needs to bounce back under the 7lb claimer Elizabeth Gale.

Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form.

J: Cian Horgan

T: Roger Fell

Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft.

Form & Verdict
Sole win (from 19) came in newly applied cheekpieces at Pontefract (6f, good) last June; nicely weighted on that (10lb lower) and had the misfortune to bump into a progressive rival at Ayr (6f) on penultimate start; latest Hamilton effort a poor one and 7f doesn't appear his optimum.

Front-runner who was admirably consistent in the second half of last year and reappeared with a good second at Newcastle in March; however, after a lesser run at Thirsk he was beaten a long way at Redcar only 16 days ago, and needs to leave that latest performance miles behind.

Front-runner; came second at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March and ran well until weakening into fifth at Thirsk (1m, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month but, off current mark and over this trip, his chance is probably reliant on an uncontested lead.

Just two wins from 31 starts but this front-runner often runs well and he was a close second on his reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March; had to work hard early to lead from wide draw at Thirsk (1m, good) last time so that fifth of 13 was a creditable performance; he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
A visor failed to rejuvenate at Brighton (7f) in April and he left Stuart Williams soon after for 7,000gns; better when fourth at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) on first start for this yard and a case can be made from a handicapping perspective (is also claimer ridden); don't discount.

Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time.

Haydock juvenile winner (7f; RPR 72) in September 2022; failed to better that since, struggling last year (7f-1m); however, she took a step back in the right direction when third to stablemate Mayo County over C&D (good to firm, Rain Cap second) latest, and might be capable of building on that.

Catterick specialist who did his chances no favours with a slow start there (fourth) latest; runner-up twice prior to that, including when splitting stablemates Mayo County and Oscar's Sister over C&D (good to firm); a reproduction of that effort would see him in the mix.
