Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race).

SR 69 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good.

SR 62 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Ended last year by finishing well held on his C&D handicap debut; slightly more encouraging signs when 4l fourth of eight on 6f Newcastle reappearance three weeks ago but he'll need to build on that, stepping back up to 7f.

Not obviously well handicapped on the form she showed in four maiden/novice events over 6f/7f last year, so will need to return from a five-month break with an improved effort.

Eight-race maiden but has shown he can be competitive from his mark, including fourth of 11 at Wetherby (7f, good to firm; acts on heavy) 25 days ago.

All three starts were 6f on AW; showed promise when fourth at Wolverhampton on first two; hung badly left on bend at Kempton since, so it's no surprise to see him return to a left-handed course for this handicap and turf debut over a longer trip.

Has made a positive start for his new yard, building on promising handicap debut third when winning over 7f at Doncaster (good to firm) 19 days ago; only 2lb higher but the subsequent exploits of horses from that race don't suggest it's particularly strong form.

Improved when comfortable 3l winner of a 17-runner Leicester handicap (7f, good) 38 days ago, which was her first turf start since finishing fourth on debut last summer (also good); the Leicester second bombed out next time but bounced back to score at Redcar on Monday; raised 8lb but could easily still have some scope in her mark.

Raced around 6f so far, showing his best form when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Windsor (good to firm) last time, faring best of those held up; 7f is likely to be within range on that evidence; not discounted.

Scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last June but he ended 2025 well out of sorts and there was no obvious sign of an upturn in his fortunes when down the field on AW reappearance six weeks ago.

Won 6f Pontefract nursery (good) off 2lb higher last summer for Jonathan Portman; struggled over that trip on next four outings but took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 over 7f at Doncaster (good to firm) 26 days ago; the fourth and fifth from that race have run well to be placed since, so the form could be okay; enters calculations.

Not devoid of ability on his first two starts (7f, AW) but well held on turf on final outing; has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut after seven months off; the betting should help guide to expectations.

SR 53 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
