Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims.

Form & Verdict
Back-to-back 6f wins in June and nearly added a 5f handicap at Ascot the following month; wasn't on his game back there last time but definite chance if shrugging aside that disappointment.

Ran a fine race when third over C&D last July and he turns up here off an 8lb lower mark; poorly drawn when down the field at Lingfield on Good Friday; could bounce back with a big run.

4 yo Colt

OR: 84

Form & Verdict
Front runs over 5f; last year went well with three wins in the space of four runs and he's back to a more realistic mark; gelded prior to latest run at Beverley and ran okay given he went off a bit too quick for his own good.

J: Joey Haynes

Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise.

Front-runner who has won four times from 20 starts; mostly struggled last year and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell when last seen 132 days ago; down another 2lb but others have stronger claims.

Can go from the front, as when making all at Bath in April; second at Goodwood since then but has also finished last in his other two starts; hard to predict.

Has made a good start for Ruth Carr and emerged from midfield to edge home over C&D a month ago; on that run and past exploits, he remains on a useful mark up 4lb.

Two wins (AW/turf) for previous yard; close fourth at Newcastle (5f, AW) on stable/seasonal debut; fighting chance provided he builds on that effort; similar type to Emerald Harmony.

Form & Verdict
0-6 this year but he retains all his ability and did quite well at Chester given how that race panned out before making no impression in the Windsor handicap won by Rocking Ends; if forgiven that it's easy to make a case.

T: Michael Bell

Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form.

All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list.

All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Never headed when a clearcut winner at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and was then fifth of 15 at York; has competition for the lead here but Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb will aid his cause.
