Steady improver who scored three times last year, including here (1m) in May and on the July course (7f, also good to firm) two months later; also landed valuable big-field fillies' handicap at York which bodes well for this test; should be ready to roll on this return and she's much respected.

J: Clifford Lee

T: John Gallagher

C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied.

Form & Verdict
C&D novice winner back in the day and he was trained by Micky Fenton in Ireland when landing big Galway handicap (7f, heavy) in 2024; back with his former trainer (in Newmarket this time) when weakening over 6f at Doncaster 18 days ago; might step forward from that comeback.

Front-runner who ended a long losing run with a dominant display over C&D (good) last month; struggled on his return visit three weeks ago but that was the Bunbury Cup and he remains well treated on his old form; respected on this big drop back in grade.

Form & Verdict
Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance.

Just 1-18 on turf and is hard to predict but he finished a fair third over this trip at Brighton (good to firm) last Sunday; could be dangerous if he can back that up but he still has something to prove on slow ground.

Form & Verdict
Dual 7f (good/good to yielding) winner in Ireland who was soon outpaced before coming home strongly to be beaten a whisker in 5f Scottish Sprint Cup (soft) 12 days ago; that was a really encouraging first go for Jim Goldie and this step back up to 7f should be fine; has to be of interest.

Got up in the final strides over 5f here (good to firm) three weeks ago on his fourth start for this yard; he could have more to offer for this stable, especially back up in trip with his Irish wins having come at 7.5f/7f; respected up 4lb for last time.

J: Harry Davies

Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in.

First-time blinkers when making all for easy win in Epsom novice (7f, soft) in September 2024; encouraging return from a year's absence the following October but he left Ralph Beckett after a moderate effort next time; weak in the market for his stable debut when it all went wrong at the start 19 days ago.

Gina Mangan picked up a 12-day ban when this 4yo was given a lot to do at Ffos Las and he then won by a length under Oisin Murphy here over 1m; has never raced beyond that trip but gives the impression he'll stay this far; up in class off a 5lb higher mark.

Novice winner for previous yard; 0-6 for current stable but ran encouragingly, despite being left with plenty to do, in last two starts; caught the attention of the stewards at Ffos Las (1m) latest; interesting with Oisin Murphy up for first time, assuming the cards drop right.
