Form & Verdict
One win in his first 16 starts but record since returning in April reads 1314, with the wins at Nottingham (1m2f) and Leicester (1m4f); gamely made most in the latter and again set the pace when running creditably at Goodwood (1m4f) on latest start, ending up alongside Morcar; should go well again.

Four-time winner who last scored over 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in July; runner-up over C&D in October, however, and confirmed this trip holds no fears when second again at Nottingham (also good) 18 days ago; player.

Generally consistent gelding who won three times last season including on his reappearance over C&D (good; 3-1) last April; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid after 166 days off.

Form & Verdict
One of last season's two wins was over C&D; with new yard this term and he's been in top form on his last two starts, making all under Mason Paetel over 1m2f in smallish fields at Leicester and Epsom; back up another 4lb after the game display 12 days ago and this is his first Flat handicap above Class 5, but he needs major respect.

Prominent racer; won 1m2f handicaps at Leicester and Epsom in midsummer and ran well in his hat-trick bid here in July; weak in the market and ran poorly at Newmarket 24 days ago (raced too freely); more to prove on ground slower than good.

Form & Verdict
All four wins have come over 1m2f on good to firm (two of them at this track) and two of them under Alec Voikhansky, the latest at Lingfield (from Hamlet's Night) in May; good placed efforts here and at Goodwood on last two starts, despite seeming stretched by 1m4f last time; probably bang there again.

Close third in this in 2024 and he enhanced a good C&D record when winning last year's edition (good to firm) from this mark; placed on his next four starts and had a soft-ground excuse on final start that term; had wind surgery ahead of a quiet comeback at Newbury three weeks ago but no surprise if this day has been ringed in his calendar.

Suited by good/firmer and has won four 1m2f handicaps, the latest last May; he seemed in need of the run when 28-1 in this race the time before, so that's a concern on today's first run since his second wind surgery.

Form & Verdict
Two of his six wins have been at this track (including this race two years ago) where he was a strong-finishing neck second over C&D (good to firm) in April; he failed to fire, however, in a slowly run race back over C&D six weeks ago on sole start since; pretty reliable normally.

Won twice early-season and better again when second in classy small-field races at Cheltenham and Wincanton, the latest a Grade 2; returned from a break with a win on the AW so his run in the Morebattle at Kelso goes down as disappointing; the return of a hood is no bad thing; enjoys good ground.

Form & Verdict
5-9 record at Chelmsford dominates his tally; turf form (0-6) is nowhere near as good as his AW figures and, although he also has a lower turf mark, others in this field may be more solid propositions today.

Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off.
