11st 2lb

J: Mr Simon Walker

Returned from seven months off with a good second at Brighton and went one better at Sandown four weeks ago (both 1m on good to firm); 4lb rise manageable and Simon Walker a positive booking.

J: Benoit De La Sayette

Patchy campaign last season but he's 2lb lower than when winning at Newbury (1m, good) last May and reappeared with a good second at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month; in the mix if backing that up.

J: David Probert

T: Jack Jones

Five-time turf winner who posted two AW wins in autumn 2024 off higher marks than today's; lightly raced since, however, with patchy form, and others have more obvious claims.

Seven-time winner when trained by Rae Guest and posted respectable efforts on the AW over 1m2f in two of his three outings for Edward Smyth-Osbourne; has been off since January and drops back in trip on his first start for this yard.

J: Jonny Peate

Hasn't won since his debut in February last year when trained by Karl Burke; went close when beaten a nose at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and if he can reproduce that effort on turf then he would be a player.

Still to add to his debut success (for Karl Burke) but he went desperately close at Chelmsford last month, running on well at the finish; handicap mark left unchanged and he needs serious consideration.

My Old Mate

J: Jude Fernandes

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Well beaten on handicap/AW debut over C&D in April, but has suddenly taken off on turf lately with two wins at Windsor (1m, good to firm), the first under Jude Fernandes; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but still a major player if his progress can be transferred back to Polytrack.

J: Billy Loughnane

Came good at seventh attempt, readily making all over C&D six weeks ago; that form has been well advertised by the clear runner-up since and this fellow could still be well handicapped after a 5lb rise.

J: William Carson

T: Tony Carroll

Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account.

Six-time AW winner who is 0-12 on grass but he's been placed on turf in his last three runs including when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; on same mark here and he should be in the thick of things again.
