C&D winner last May who is on a hat-trick after wins at Nottingham (good to firm) last month and Leicester (also 5f; good to soft) a fortnight ago; up 4lb but he won off this mark last spring and looks the one to beat.

Back to winning ways in a five-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) five weeks ago; this is more competitive but he has been rated much higher in the past.

J: Harry Russell

T: Antony Brittain

Caused a surprise with his 25-1 win at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month but he came up short when dropped back to 5f there (fourth of nine) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but he needs to find more to defy this mark.

Surprise winner here three weeks ago, back from a break over 6f (previous wins all came over 5f); a 5lb rise leaves little wiggle room but he saw off a subsequent winner that night and has won back-to-back in the past.

Yet to score on turf but he's holding his form well this season and comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap 12 days ago; in the mix once more eased 1lb.

His only win from 20 starts came when long odds-on for a C&D maiden in March 2025; there have been plenty of placed efforts amongst his 17 handicap defeats and he has slipped to the lowest mark of his career; respected.

28-1 when winning at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in July and went close over this C&D last time (good), just caught late by Royal Duke who came from much further back; back up 2lb but there should be more to come over this trip.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Katie Scott

She was 28-1 and contesting just her second handicap when scoring at Ayr (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; fair effort under a penalty over that C&D one week later but she lacked the pace to land a blow when dropped to 5f last time; also squeezed out at the start that day so interesting to see how she fares at the trip this time.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Progressive 3yo who has won three of her five starts, including with a strong finish at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago; that was a last-gasp success, but she showed a fine attitude and still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark; big player.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt with a comfortable success here over 5f in June (good to soft) off a mark 8lb lower than today's; struggled at Doncaster (5.5f, good to firm) last month and she isn't proven over 6f, but should be happier back down in grade.

Lost her first ten races but the win had been coming and she stormed clear at Catterick (5f, good to soft; fine on faster); now in a higher grade on the back of a 9lb rise but something appears to have clicked.
