There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.

Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces.

Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect.

Won just one of her 19 starts for Alice Haynes but it came at this track (5f, soft); her best effort in 2025 came on seasonal return (6f, good to firm) and although she ended the campaign quietly it was over 7f and 1m; sold for 1,200gns in December; intriguing runner on stable debut.

Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution.

Won twice in minor 5f events last summer (AW and good to soft); also ran well when second to Crocus Time over C&D last August; recent return to action at Redcar may have been needed but there wasn't enough encouragement to earn him the vote this time.

He went desperately close at Newcastle (6f) in December off a 6lb higher mark; well beaten since and unseated his rider having reared as the stalls opened (not for the first time) at Southwell 18 days ago; capable but too risky for comfort.

Still seeking his first win after 22 attempts; went close at Kempton (6f) in March but his two runs since haven't been of the same standard; has shown promise on turf; has worn each of today's accessories at some point but this is the first time they have been worn together.

Placed over C&D for Richard Hannon and her three runs at Thirsk for her new yard last summer yielded two close thirds and her breakthrough success; she has a 227-day absence to overcome today but is still likely to give it a good go.

SR 57 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back.

SR 59 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Caused a 66-1 shock when winning a 7f handicap at Newcastle on his stable debut in December; two heavy defeats (7f and 1m) have followed and he now tackles a sprint trip for the first time, with cheekpieces also given a go.

SR 59 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
His second run for his new stable (5f, good to firm; visored first time) was a significant step up from his reappearance effort; returning to 6f will suit and he is one to consider.

C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form.

SR 58 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Won a 6f handicap at Redcar (good to firm) last summer off 1lb lower; placed on softer than good twice after; has not hit the same heights this year but at 5f and 7f; should be at concert pitch now and a bigger run could be forthcoming.
