Enjoying a consistent year, winning twice from the front at Kempton since the blinkers went on (doesn't have to lead); nothing wrong with his clear second at Southwell a month ago and holds decent claims despite a further 2lb rise.

Got the better of a rival who has won twice since when scoring at Kempton three weeks ago (6f); not in the same form at Nottingham last time but it was 5f and he had an inexperienced apprentice on board; high on the list back at 6f and returned to AW.

Went close over C&D in January but she was disappointing when joint-favourite at Chelmsford the following month; needs to step up again after that and she's now 0-13; first-time visor replaces blinkers.

Maiden who hasn't had many chances in 6f handicaps but should find one on his recent Kempton Polytrack form, going close two starts ago before the front-running winner wasn't for catching on Wednesday (when first-time blinkers added, now retained); major contender.

Sole win was over 6f on turf in July 2024; on reduced mark and was a creditable fourth at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) three weeks ago but that took his record to 1-22 and he's untried at this trip; others are more persuasive.
