Form & Verdict
All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return.

Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (firm) two weeks ago and she followed up with an emphatic win from off the pace at Salisbury (5f, good to firm); was as good as ever with that success and she's 3lb well in under penalty this time; strong contender.

Form has been a bit up and down since winning off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March; all five turf wins have come on good to firm/firm so the likely conditions are an unknown; stable won this race three times between 2016 and 2020.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but he won at Wetherby (5.5f) in June and got back on track with a near-miss at Beverley (5f) 11 days ago; due to be 2lb higher in future and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form; last run was on soft but his wins have been on good/good to firm.

In fine form since joining Robert Cowell and made it win number three for the stable at Sandown (5f, good) in August; good second at Bath (5f, good to firm) since; ran well on soft ground last July on the last occasion he tackled slow turf; entitled to respect.

On the up since joining Robert Cowell this summer and comfortably gained a third victory for the yard in nine-runner handicap at Sandown (5f) last month by 3/4l from Maharajas Express; up 5lb but that form has been really well advertised, so he is seriously considered.

Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Showed signs of a revival with her late headway over C&D in May and she was only beaten around 2l again at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights but she needs to find some extra spark in this competitive race.

Form & Verdict
Won this race last year and was runner-up in 2023; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he's been well below form in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (firm); has something to prove and he needs a major revival.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

Form & Verdict
Record of 2-54 but her wins have come at Bath (5f, firm) and Chepstow (5f, good to firm) this season and she ran another good race when a close fourth at Nottingham (5f classified) two weeks ago; usually races prominently and she should give it another good shot back in handicap.

Form & Verdict
Handles any ground and was runner-up behind Symbol Of Hope in this race last year; his highlight this season was a C&D win (firm) in June but he's not easy to predict and has been disappointing in last two runs; needs to bounce back again and he comes with risks attached.
