Often front-runner who won at Leicester (7f, good) in April and over this C&D (good to firm) last month; bit below his best at Chepstow 17 days ago but soft ground may have been against him (also lost a shoe).

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning at Leicester (7f, good) in April and at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) ten days ago; up another 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is a likely player once more.

J: David Allan

Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer.

Left low-key seasonal debut behind when second at Leicester (7f, good; well backed) in April; remains on a good mark but was safely held when back at Leicester last month and is drawn wide here.

It's now 14 starts since his last success but he comes here in excellent nick, ending up with lot to do when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap six days ago; a player off the same mark for his in-form yard.

Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw.

Winless since 2024 but largely in decent nick this season until tried visored when fourth of five at Lingfield (6f) 13 days ago; tongue strap/cheekpieces are refitted here and he's the sort to bounce back.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ed Dunlop

Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance.

Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage.

J: Charles Bishop

Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good.
