Form & Verdict
Sole win came in a three-runner Pontefract maiden (1m, soft) last May; respectable efforts on last two starts (AW, 1m and 7f) and he's not fully exposed on turf after six starts; handicapper slowly relenting; not discounted.

0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist.

J: Robert Havlin

Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game.

Form & Verdict
23 runs here have produced four wins and six seconds, including a short-head defeat in this race last year; nearly two years since the last of those wins but he left a modest C&D effort behind when second of eight in a newly fitted hood at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last week; 1lb well in.

J: Luke Catton

T: Jim Boyle

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins earlier in career; made a winning start for Edward Bethell on AW (7f) in March but hasn't matched that in his two starts (5f and 6f) for this yard; return to this trip might help.

Dual soft-ground winner, latterly over C&D last autumn off an 8lb higher mark; has been running over 7f in recent times and the question is whether he still has the toe for this trip under today's conditions.

Second in this last year (good to soft) and won over C&D (good to firm) in July; runner-up over C&D two starts ago and not helped by a slow start when fifth over C&D last time; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; capable of playing a leading role.

His five starts over C&D have yielded two wins and two runner-up spots, once behind Musical Angel last September and latterly when chasing home Dapper Guest ten days ago; wasn't done too many favours by the winner last time and has a good chance of gaining his revenge on revised terms.

Form & Verdict
Continues to struggle despite the handicapper's assistance and a returning visor (discarded again today) couldn't perk him up when last of eight over 6f here (good) last time; he did finish second on his one go over 7f but that came during happier times; of interest only with market support.

Won twice over 7f (AW) in late 2023; on a losing run but proved resurgent over 6f on last three starts, two seconds sandwiching an unlucky fourth, all on good to firm in a visor; back up 3lb but still nicely treated on old form and ran well over C&D as a juvenile; interesting.
