Form & Verdict
Yet to strike form this season but his keeping-on fourth of seven at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago was a step back in the right direction; drops in grade here and will be suited by the forecast slower ground; one to consider.

Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned.

Four-time C&D winner on ground ranging from good to firm to heavy; no longer the force of old but both runs this season were respectable and the return to this track is an obvious plus; probably won't be far away.

The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance.

Form & Verdict
Often loses ground at the start but she was very consistent on the AW in first few months of this year (two wins) and didn't really enjoy the run of the race when respectable sixth on recent turf return at Bath (1m2f, good); versatile ground-wise; each-way claims at least.

Won on the AW last summer (1m2f) and launched hurdling career with two encouraging fourths, latterly when just over 2l behind Jamada in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; safely held on subsequent handicap debut but still considered here, with the switch to better ground a possible source of improvement.

Well beaten all three starts as 2yo, albeit with fourth of seven to a runaway winner at Goodwood (1m1f, heavy) on final occasion appearing to be much improved form; sister to 1m2f-1m6f Saratoga Gold (useful at his best over 1m4f) which prompts some extra interest on this handicap/seasonal debut.
