Form & Verdict
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid.

J: Matthew Lloyd Slater

Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up.

Gained a first victory of 2026 at Nottingham (6f) in June and in good form since, leading for long way when fifth of 21 in 6f York handicap 29 days ago; this course winner can go very well eased 1lb here.

Form & Verdict
Reappeared with a good second at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month but he's not easy to predict and was a well-held fifth at Ripon last time; that took his record to 1-16 and others are more convincing.

Still to win a handicap and has had plenty of chances for this yard; fair effort over C&D last time (behind Hectic) and is 2lb lower but he's some way down the pecking order.

Form & Verdict
Made it 4-8 on turf when scoring at Haydock (6f, good) last July but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; had an excuse on soft ground on her Lingfield reappearance two weeks ago but this is competitive and she needs a big turnaround.

J: Callum Shepherd

Has won four times, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark than today's, and bounced back from a lesser effort when third of seven at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last time; on a handy mark but unproven on ground slower than good.

The step up to 7f didn't bear fruit at Haydock three weeks ago but she had been placed in 6f handicaps in her two previous starts; 2lb lower than for her last win; each-way shout.

Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Won over C&D (good) in April and he got back on the scoresheet when rallying well for a clearcut success at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last week; 5lb higher here but this return to fast ground is no problem and he's respected back up in trip.

Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off five rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; at the top of his game but this asks a different question of one who has gained all six career successes in single-figure fields.

Form & Verdict
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player.
