Form & Verdict
Ten-time AW winner who boasts a consistent record over C&D; high enough in the weights but his latest Kempton effort, back from a break, is best overlooked and the return here won't hurt.

11-time AW winner (mainly on Polytrack); ought to have been suited by the soft ground when well-held fifth at Windsor on Saturday, after a break, and might find younger rivals better handicapped here.

Likes soft ground, on which he was a close second (clear of rest) at Lingfield in June and that was after a break of 72 days; a wet day would make him interesting.

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again).

Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering.

Form & Verdict
Finally off the mark over 5f here a fortnight ago and, confidence boosted, duly followed up easily from the front at Wolverhampton on Tuesday; a 5lb penalty wouldn't have stopped her there and, while this is stronger back up to 6f, she's the one to beat.

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner whose three wins for David Simcock, including here, came over 7f; added two more victories over this trip round Southwell last autumn but not at best since and the first-time visor will need to help over tonight's easier 6f.

All five wins have been for previous trainers over 6f/7f; his two runs over 1m have not proved his stamina for the distance, but this does represent a class drop so all is not lost.

Hold-up performer who stays 7f and has never done it off a mark quite this high; this is a bit easier for a yard among the winners, though, should the race be set up for him.
