Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted.

Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track.

Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark.

Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend.

Two AW wins in early 2025, over 7f at Chelmsford and 6f at Wolverhampton, both under Rossa Ryan; her form took a turn for the worse, including for him, in the second half of the year but she didn't do badly in a slowly run C&D race won by Ashford Hill last time and Ryan returns to the saddle.
