Unraced here; all three wins have been over about 7f, the latest at Leicester last month; 6f probably explains a lesser show last time and he has a chance judged on peak efforts.

Can lead; has been racing at about 7f for well over a year and he's run well in both attempts at that trip here, most recently when sticking his neck out for the win (good) last month; back up 3lb but on a fair mark still and used to have the speed for 6f; of interest.

Both wins over 5f as a 2yo; has run some good races over 7f this spring, on AW and turf, and he kept on well enough when upped to 1m at Pontefract in April to make him worth another go at this trip; not ruled out.

J: Hector Crouch

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.

Campaigned mostly on turf and over 7f, winning twice (as a 2yo); latest effort was better than reappearance and suggested this return to 1m is worth exploring; could go well, provided he's as effective back on AW.

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.
