    One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best.

    A 66-1 winner at Ballinrobe last May, beating the subsequent Lartigue Hurdle winner Last Kingdom; fourth in a chase at Tramore last time her best effort since then; stayed on well having been set plenty to do; definite chance in ordinary contest.

    Unplaced both turf starts and both 2m races; inconsistent on AW but took advantage of career-low mark to score by a neck over 1m6f in January on final start for the Crisfords; sported first-time blinkers that day and sold for 31,000gns the following month; cheekpieces are today's headgear and he has something to prove back on turf at 2m.

    Small step forward when comfortably winning Wolverhampton novice (6f, AW) on his return three weeks ago; will need more again on this handicap debut but that's by no means unlikely and he ran well on quick turf in October; respected.

    Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this.

    Came on plenty for each 2yo run, making all in a 7f maiden on Wolverhampton AW in November; plenty to like about her reappearance in a 6f handicap at Newmarket (good) recently, where she initially failed to pick up but came home nicely to finish a close third of 13; should come on for the run and go well back over 7f; yard has won three of the last seven runnings.

    Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song.

    Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus.

    All turf races at sprint trips on good to firm and good, vigorously ridden when making all at Windsor last August from one who went on to better things; a similarly useful effort when runner-up on Kempton AW in October but he lacks a recent run and has a new trip to contend with.

    Fine stamp who is unbeaten since contesting handicaps; made all to land his third such race when defying penalty to score at Kempton (6f, AW; Hallo Spaceboy second, Night Mission fifth) one month ago; also won on turf (good to soft, acts on good) and doesn't have to lead; impossible to ignore in current mood.

    Very much at the top his generation last year, winning the Chester Vase at this meeting before going on to classic glory at Epsom and the Curragh (all three wins over 1m4f on good ground); he was undeniably disappointing in the Great Voltigeur (1m4f, good to firm) and St Leger (14.5f, soft), but this looks a good starting point for his 4yo career given the race conditions and he should take the beating if anything like back to his best; cheekpieces are given a go.

    The dead-heat victory and (off today's mark) a close fourth in 2m3f Carlisle 0-110s on his last two outings rate personal best efforts; more needed again up in class, and didn't convince over 3m in Irish points.

    Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and although he's 0-6 on turf, that includes a close third here (2m, good to soft) in September; each-way player.

    Twice held off 1lb higher since making a successful return from eight months off at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February, including when behind two of these in the Rosebery; needs a resurgence and could probably do without the ground easing.

    Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to.

    Ulysses colt didn't run at two but three runs already this term, showing plenty of improvement to land Ballinrobe maiden over this trip eight days ago, making virtually all to win handsomely (good-to-yielding); yard took same route with last year's winner Carmers en route to an Ascot success so demands plenty of respect.

    Maiden was running well when falling at the last on chasing debut at Thurles in February; was then pulled-up at Wexford but a better effort over hurdles at Bellewstown last time; chance if at best.

    Second of 12 at Newbury (6f, only start on good to soft) was much the best of four runs last year; gelded and not disgraced when fourth at Kempton (7f, AW; 25-1) on his reappearance at the start of last month; needs to build on that.

    All 12 runs have been on turf and he won twice at Catterick (6f/7f, good) last season; 6lb higher than for his last success but he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 13 at Thirsk last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this drop back in trip; tongue-tie added.

    Relatively lightly raced 4yo who ended last year with wins at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) and Musselburgh (1m4f, soft); started this season with a low-key effort but she may have needed that run and still has scope for further progress; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade.

    Without a win since his second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since as when beaten a length into third of 24 in the Newbury Spring Cup (1m, good ) last month; Ryan Moore keeps the ride and rain shouldn't be an issue, but the draw could have been kinder.

    9-1 when fifth in the Chester Cup last year for Andrew Balding, which is as good as he's ever been on Flat; 7lb lower today, having been right off the boil for that yard later in 2025; recent hurdle efforts for new stable aren't enough to persuade, especially given such a wide draw.

    Huge chance on the form of his debut second at the Curragh behind Expanded; two runs this season haven't been at that level, however, and he was well held behind Mano Chicago and Cracking Cloud at Gowran last time; visor replaced by cheekpieces; more needed.

    An unlucky, strong-finishing third in this race in 2024 (good to firm; his only run here) and has a 1lb lower mark today; flickers of that ability on occasions since, though had to have his sights lowered for two hurdle wins last autumn; tailed off at 40-1 in a Grade 1 novice hurdle four weeks ago, after a winter break, and could be more interesting this time.
