Form & Verdict
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace.

Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW.

Both wins were in 2023 but she had some close calls in the autumn and ran another good race when third over C&D three weeks ago; 1lb lower here and she should be in the mix again.

Without a win since 2023 but had a solid AW campaign before staying on for close third in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) on turf return in April; should be fine over today's longer trip; can make her presence felt.

Not the best of win records (1-26 but 0-10 on turf); only win was over 1m2f on AW back in 2023; sound third at Pontefract with first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance last month (1m4f, good to soft); stays 1m6f but below her best three previous tries at 2m.

6 yo Colt

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
Has patchy record under both codes, but he won by 4l over C&D in October and was a close second over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4f) three weeks ago; still unexposed as a stayer on the Flat and needs close look back in this sphere.

British challenger; dual-purpose; has won on the AW on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles; went close off 1lb lower at Huntingdon (20.5f, soft) in January; ground may have been too lively at Southwell latest; could outrun his odds back on easier ground.

No match for the winner in his last two races over hurdles but both were well handicapped and returning to a longer trip looks the right move; on the shortlist.

Flattered by close proximity to one who hacked up at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) but still ran well; fine over this shorter trip and didn't run too badly on the AW last time.

Veteran who won at Wolverhampton (2m) in December and he's been beaten less than 2l there (1m6f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and shouldn't be far away.

A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip.

Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects.

T: Ewan Whillans

10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again.

Form & Verdict
No win in his first 18 starts but he's won four of his last five including an apprentice handicap over C&D on Saturday; escapes a penalty for that success and he pulled 8l clear with the runner-up; major player again in his bid for a four-timer.
