Form & Verdict
Drawn widest but he's been running well on turf and the return to this track could count in his favour, having a healthy 3-8 strike-rate over C&D and now 3lb lower than the most recent last October; can figure.

Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap.

Form & Verdict
Has done most AW racing on Polytrack but Tapeta clearly suits and she made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton (5f) when back there in August; never involved under a penalty at Lingfield since and needs more off just 1lb lower.

Resumed winning ways in 5f classified event here in January and not discredited after a tardy start when a running-on third of six in 5f Lingfield handicap two weeks ago; she's proven over this longer trip so rates a big player back in this company.

Three AW handicap wins as a 2yo, including over C&D; has few pretensions to being ahead of her mark now but she's run some good races in defeat of late and her Newcastle run on Monday was one of them; involved again.

Front-runs; multiple sprint wins include six here; form tailed off after the latest of them in February and he was entitled to need last month's run at Yarmouth after a break; should give it a good shot from a low draw back on this track.
