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.

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.

Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025.

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.

Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up on penultimate outing only because his jockey was injured; underwhelming on starts either side, however, and the one brighter spot this season came at Chester over two months ago; he is down to a good mark but last season's success came at 1m.

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.
