Seven-time sprint winner who handles most ground; just one success since August 2023 but he ran well to finish third in a Class 4 over C&D last month and is respected on this drop back in grade.

Monsieur Kodi

J: Warren Fentiman

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard Fahey

All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard Fahey

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does.

Form & Verdict
4yo who recorded her fourth win when justifying support at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but she was as good as ever last time and is versatile ground-wise; key player for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Only 1lb higher than for his Newmarket win (6f, good) last August but has mixed record since and was a remote last of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month; now drops in trip but he needs to bounce back again and others are more convincing; first-time visor replaces a hood.

Just 2lb higher than for her Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in April; mixed bag since but she gave it a good shot when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last week and has claims if she can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D maiden (soft) last August; well held in nurseries in final two 2yo runs but he reappeared with a good fourth over C&D in May and built on that when going close at Chester (6f, good) last month; still has potential as a sprint handicapper and he looks interesting off an unchanged mark.

T: Seb Spencer

Soft-ground 2yo winner for Quinn yard last August and beat Territorial Knight by a head to win on recent stable debut at Carlisle (6f, good); could have more to offer for this yard and not ruled out under 5lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Has useful pedigree but was disappointing in the second of his two runs for Charlie Appleby and he made a low-key start for new yard at Hamilton last month; still early days but he needs a transformation back at this trip on handicap debut.

Lightly raced 4yo who built on his reappearance second over C&D (soft) to win a 17-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago; also effective on good/good to firm; up 7lb for last time but did it nicely and he could be just the type of Jim Goldie sprinter to keep on improving.

Form & Verdict
Nine-time winner, including two over C&D; well handicapped on best form last season but has mixed record in Ireland this year and she's been out of sorts in last three runs; has questions to answer and she wouldn't want the ground to dry out.

J: Mohammed Tabti

T: Iain Jardine

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.
