0-10 for current stable; made the frame three times last May but wasn't in the same form afterwards in 2025; turnaround would give him a good chance off current mark.

Closely matched with Irish Dancer and Street Life on C&D form from two weeks ago when she was short of room late on; all her wins have come at 6f but she's effective at 5f and she should be in the shake-up again.

Yard among the winners of late and this mare made a pleasing C&D comeback early in the month, especially given she hit traffic; entitled to have come on for that first run in six months and goes on the shortlist.

Heavy ground excuses her low-key end to 2025 and she ran a series of good races, including a win at Hamilton when first tried in blinkers; whether first time out is the time to catch her remains to be seen but interesting that a tongue-tie goes on for her return.

Got it together since dropped to this trip on the AW this year, winning a couple of 0-55s on Polytrack, latterly off 5lb lower in first-time blinkers; returns to turf 7lb higher than when last seen on it and will need a career-best effort to take this.

Has a patchy profile but he's won two of his last four starts including a comfortable success at Lingfield (6f; blinkers added) last Thursday; has a penalty but he was as good as ever last time and he's still unexposed at this trip; interesting contender.

Ran on well when justifying favouritism over C&D (Class 6; from 5lb lower) in November; third to Our Absent Friends next time, before being disadvantaged by a wide draw at Wolverhampton (6f) latest; this is potentially asking a bit too much.

Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.
