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.

Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive.

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.

Notched a third AW victory of 2026 when prevailing at Lingfield (5f) in April and she posted another good effort when third of ten in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up once more.

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.

Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern.

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.

Form & Verdict
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.

Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark.
