J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

All his wins have been over 7f but there's been only one of those (Epsom last August) in very nearly two years now; still paying for the ease of that win in a seven-runner race, so others are preferred.

J: Charles Bishop

Found 1m stretching him on his comeback from five months off and is entitled to improve, back in the cheekpieces last sported last July; still paying the price for his easy Epsom win last August, though, and there's not much wiggle room off this mark.

Far from solid on his form for current yard, raced mostly over 6f and yet to win on turf; enough to prove in this scenario; had wind surgery (his second) since last run.

Made a pleasing start for Ivan Furtado when second of 20 at York last May (lower turf mark); struggled since, including back on AW on last two starts, but he steps back up to 6f with cheekpieces added; interesting.

Entitled to have come on for her comeback Southwell second to a progressive 3yo three weeks ago; the evidence points to her being happier on the AW than turf and she's relatively low mileage still; yard is in decent form; one to consider.

0-8 for Amanda Perrett but he has been placed on three occasions, including when going close at Kempton (7f, AW) in November 2024 on his third start; below his best when last seen 293 days ago and now makes his stable debut having been purchased for 9,000gns; watch the betting.

More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f.

Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again.
