J: Jonathan England

T: Sam England

Rediscovered a spark, scrambling home over C&D (good; 12-1) 18 days ago; a 4lb rise takes him back to a triple-figure mark (traditionally struggles from that position) but he isn't one to write off, with this track tending to bring out the best in him.

T: Sam England

2024 C&D winner; promising third when returning from a 15-month absence at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, in this headgear combination, proving he retains a good chunk of his ability; however, he'll need to quickly bounce back from a lesser effort at Perth last time, which tempers enthusiasm.

Back to form in handicaps as recent figures would imply; did go up 7lb for the win at Hereford (2m3f, good) and only third next time, but has shown before that this mark is workable; likes to lead and this drop back in trip could work.

Back to form on last three starts (about 2m4f, variety of ground) and latest saw her get off the mark at 15th attempt, doing so by 9l from the front in a six-runner race at Hereford on Monday; carries 7lb penalty in a larger field but should have a huge shout as an in-form candidate against unpersuasive rivals.
