Form & Verdict
Things haven't gone his way since making all over 5f at Newcastle in November but he's still run with great credit from off the pace in competitive races, including over C&D; back up 1lb for latest run; can go close.

Six wins and five seconds from 17 AW runs; unplaced on turf on his last two starts and although this scenario will suit better, a few others look better handicapped.

Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Had some useful form in 5f handicaps in 2025 and he wasn't as well positioned as the winner (who won his next two) when a strong-finishing runner-up on reappearance over C&D last January; three wins for high-profile riders since and the booking of Billy Loughnane looks significant; usually wears cheekpieces but not today (ran well without on comeback in 2024).

Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider.

In tremendous form here in recent months and a sustained dash from off the pace in January gained her a third win from her last four C&D runs; raised a further 2lb but she's ready for this better race.

Consistent filly who is going from strength to strength this year, comfortably seeing off five rivals in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Bath last month; a 7lb rise in a stronger race demands another step forward.

All three wins have been on AW but she's been knocking on door here (5f, firm/good) in last two starts; nudged up 2lb but she's been as good as ever in her last two runs and should be in the thick of things again.

J: Millie Wonnacott

She has made steady progress throughout her career, winning three times on AW, and she was unlucky not to register a first turf success when a close third over C&D last week; saw no daylight at a crucial stage on that occasion and the form has already been franked; good chance.

Form & Verdict
Never better than of late, just coming out best in a tight scrap at Southwell (5f) and slightly hampered when unable to get to the winner in time over C&D since, when finishing a close third; big player if leaving off the tongue-tie makes no difference.
