Form & Verdict
Front-running second of eight in maiden at Yarmouth (upped to 1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago was his best effort; probably needs better still but this extra 1f might help and he has a shout.

Came second in a low-grade handicap hurdle in May but his two Flat wins for William Haggas last year came in plating company and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark in this sphere.

Needed sellers to win on the Flat for William Haggas; four runs over hurdles, the standout being his 7l third in a juvenile race at Stratford; struggled since, latterly on handicap debut.

Signed off for William Haggas with a brace of selling wins (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat late last summer; three goes over hurdles but his fair third at Stratford (about 2m2f, soft) in March wasn't matched either side of it; will need to have his Stratford hat on for this handicap debut but it's still early days and that's possible.

Form & Verdict
Leads or races prominently; second win when holding on gamely in a 1m2f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) early last month; proved herself at 1m4f the time before (second at Ripon) and she was beaten about only 3l when last of five over that trip at Hamilton on latest outing; should go well.

Sometimes front-runs; won a Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Hamilton seller (1m3f, soft) in September; the solid sequence continued when she was beaten a neck in three-runner race at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago but this race may be a bit too competitive.

Has won two of her last four, a Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Hamilton seller (1m3f, soft; Ancient Myth last) 11 days ago; latter win was convincing, arguably a career best, and she has form here too; likely stays this trip; player.

Form & Verdict
Won a novice (1m, AW) last December; running respectably in handicaps, with visor/blinkers last two starts; sire suggests this extra 1f will be fine, but she has a marked tendency to hang and seemingly needs improved form.

Form & Verdict
Won debut for Aidan O'Brien but missed most of 2024; hung and ran poorly on AW debut last time out this season; connections now replace this season's cheekpieces with first-time blinkers, but he's the one to beat judged on most of his 1m2f/1m4f form on turf this season.

Form & Verdict
Six-race maiden who's worn cheekpieces in his last three; has had his share of minor honours, which was no great recommendation from a four-runner maiden at Lingfield (ridden a long way out) last time but most of his earlier form puts him into serious contention.

Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut.
