J: Pat Cosgrave

Made all when winning at Kempton early last month (said to have appreciated being able to dominate); unable to get to the front down to 5f here next time and is another 3lb higher tonight; a lot will hinge on how things play out early.

Last of four wins came in July 2024, but has been runner-up twice over C&D this year, latest on firm ten days ago; likes to hear his feet rattle and if the ground is in his favour then he would come into this.

All four wins have been on the AW at Lingfield (6f) but she's posted good efforts on turf on her last two starts, latest when the blindfold came off late at Bath (5.5f, firm) two weeks ago; slower ground probably wouldn't be ideal.

Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this.

Turf maiden winner who showed spark as recently as January (AW) and he's dropped down the weights; however, he's struggled on grass on his last two starts and a major turnaround is needed in first-time blinkers.

On a competitive mark on his best form and he's effective on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo might have needed the run at Bath 16 days ago following a break but he's inconsistent and others are more compelling.
