Form & Verdict
Good record at this time of year down the seasons and has won on firm ground here in the past; a long time since he won away from Brighton, however, rarely goes beyond 5f now and was a touch disappointing at Windsor on Monday.

J: Joe Leavy

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: John Gallagher

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.

Sole win came on her only previous visit here but she hasn't always looked the most convincing and hung left when behind Secret Handsheikh at Windsor on Monday; needs to improve on that.

C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will.

Form & Verdict
Likes it here and is back on her last winning mark; not at her best over C&D last time, though, and a bigger field would have been preferable given she's usually dropped in and suited by a strong pace.

Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023.
