Course winner who is well handicapped on last season's form and is one to watch in the betting; however, he finished down the field on his three starts this spring and needs to turn things around.

Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running.

Form & Verdict
Only won once but is a consistent sort who is closely matched with Level Up on recent Leicester form; cheekpieces added to hood and should run well.

Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike.

Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day.

Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away.

Dual AW winner who scored at Haydock a week ago (wore first-time tongue-tie, came from off the pace in a truly run race); unpenalised for that and he'll be 6lb higher in future; Harry Smith can claim the full allowance now so obvious claims if that is reproduced.
