J: Jason Hart

T: John & Sean Quinn

Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say.

Multiple wins at 1m and 1m1f (good or softer) include two over C&D; quite favourably treated now and he was a very respectable fourth at Ripon recently, when just behind a subsequent winner; needs a bit more here.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: John & Sean Quinn

Two wins last year (1m/1m1f, good/soft); the last of them came in a seller and he was well beaten on last month's reappearance at Doncaster, but that was the competitive Spring Mile and he may have needed the run; won this in 2022 and he's not discounted off a handy mark.

Form & Verdict
Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor.

One-time useful but looking regressive and was tailed off at Windsor (extended 1m3f, soft) on return from an absence; bit to prove now, especially at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Won C&D handicap (good) in April; has something to find with Empirestateofmind on peak form and he's struggled on his last two outings, but perhaps the return to Musselburgh will trigger a revival.

Sole win came on British debut last April (1m1f turf); not with Mike Murphy, who has hit form since this one last ran, long and twice managed third over C&D despite being unwanted in the betting; could be the answer from handy draw.
