Form & Verdict
Front-runner who last scored in May 2023; reliable, however, and deserves a break after three consecutive seconds over 2m to 2m3f, including when rallying to go down by a nose here on penultimate start; ridden by Murray Dodd on last two outings; this trip is very much new territory, though.

J: Murray Dodd

T: Nigel Hawke

Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated.

Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer.

Form & Verdict
A maiden after two bumpers and six hurdles races; second over C&D last month, when he didn't give up his lead lightly, and not disgraced when third back down to 2m5f at Kempton on latest start; more to prove on worse than good to soft; otherwise he has clear each-way claims.

0-9 but he's run well in defeat in handicaps on his last three starts (3m/2m5f, good to soft); his latest second at Taunton has been franked by the winner and he could be firmly involved.

Looks sure to find a race judged on a good show at Taunton (3m, good to soft) recently, where he didn't give up his lead lightly, but this sharper test in a race which may take more winning could test him.

Form & Verdict
No win under rules since 2019 (he took a point in 2020) but he's well down the weights and competitive often enough, including at Newbury last March on latest start, to be considered each-way even though he may have a bit more to prove at his age first time out.

No longer the force of old but returned from 342-day absence with a pretty good third at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month behind two next-time-out winners and competes off the same mark here; respected.

Still in touch when unseating four out at Ascot last time (2m7f, good; 50-1) but it was still a long way from home; hasn't won under rules since 2019 and much-reduced mark looks justified.

Bought for £75,000 after winning an Irish point (soft); noticeably strong in the market for hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) and responded well for pressure to prevail narrowly; a line through the runner-up gives her something to find with Star Walking but this mare has potential.
