Form & Verdict
Comes into this in fine form following convincing wins over 1m6f at Bath (soft) and Salisbury (good); up another 7lb, but is a dual winner on the Polytrack at Lingfield (1m5f/2m); much respected in hat-trick bid.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Jeremy Scott

His two wins last year include one here over 1m6f in October and he was runner-up off 2lb higher than today's mark at Kempton (2m, AW) next time; respectable fifth at Goodwood 13 days ago but he isn't certain to be suited by this drop back in trip.

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; capable on his day and this trip on this ground is fine, but he's always had two ways of running; well below his best on last two outings.

J: Taryn Langley

T: Jeremy Scott

Dual Lingfield winner who's always had two ways of running; done all his winning after a recent start, which is a concern back from four months off, and he's on a career-high mark after a couple of turf victories last autumn.

Form & Verdict
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting.

She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this.

0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied.
