J: Cieren Fallon

T: Charlie Clover

He has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) one month ago; came up against another in-form rival when beaten 6l off this mark last time, but he likes to force the issue and this track might suit; can give it a good go.

Thriving since joining Charlie Clover, justifying favouritism at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; Napolian fourth) 11 days ago; may have more in the tank, although this is warmer and he's 5lb higher.

Started her career with form figures of 212 but it has mainly been a struggle since; respectable effort when third at Beverley (7.4f) last month but she faded into last of seven at Doncaster last time; needs to bounce back again after that and she still has stamina to prove at this trip; visor added.

Hostage to fortune under his usual running style but defied trouble in running for both 7.5f wins here last year, one at this meeting off today's mark; should be coming to the boil after two staying-on efforts over that same C&D this term, and did win third time out in 2025; very interesting.

Northern raider who is yet to win this season but has slipped to a good mark and was persistently denied a clear run when midfield at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; first-time visor) last week; rain will aid her cause and she can be dangerous if her luck improves.
