Form & Verdict
In great heart in May/June, winning at Beverley (8.4f) and twice at Bath (1m), all on good ground; met some trouble back at Bath last time and probably remains in form; may need a career best to go in again but that's not out of the question.

Won two of his last five starts (with and without headgear), scrambling home at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise not excessive and he has a good strike-rate for one of his rating; chance.

Form & Verdict
Below par last two outings but there have been excuses (raced wide at Kempton on latest); now just 1lb above his last winning mark, and Silvestre de Sousa, with whom he gets on well, rides for the first time this year; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced in recent seasons; went close at Kempton (1m) in February but off for nearly five months since and this is his first turf run since he was well beaten in April 2023; not ruled out but others have less to prove.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player.

Caught the eye on penultimate start; justified market support over C&D subsequently (in newly applied cheekpieces), that his first win since September 2023; a 4lb rise looks fair, so he's entitled to be on the premises assuming the headgear continues to have the desired effect.

No win since September 2023 (1m, Kempton; from 9lb higher); caught the eye making late headway (sixth; 16-1) over 8.5f here seven weeks ago; interesting to see if added cheekpieces can instigate a revival; market helpful.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on some of last season's form and he's bubbling under at present, coming from well back when fourth of eight at Newbury (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; won't be inconvenienced if rain softens the ground; high on the list.

Form & Verdict
Finally off the mark (after 15 defeats) at Ripon (1m, good) 12 days ago, and he was dominant too, forging clear; that has seen his mark rise 7lb but he's reliable and should be in the thick of things again.

Held her form well last autumn and she's doing so again for her new stable this year, just getting the better of a driving finish at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in June; met repeated trouble in running when coming from off the pace for fourth over 7f here on Friday, looking in the form for a bold show if she gets the breaks this time.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good).
