Five-time Flat winner but last two were over 2m at Catterick in May 2024; well handicapped on old form but has mixed record since switched to hurdling in his last seven starts; returns after a break but his tactical speed will be tested back in this sphere and others are preferred.

Won three times under Jake Dickson last August/September (1m2f, good to firm-good to soft); no impact in two runs this season but she caught the eye with her late headway at Carlisle (1m3f, good) last Friday; has claims if she can build on that and she won't mind what the weather does.

Dual 1m6f Flat winner who has finished runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles (2m/2m4f) in his last two runs; returns after four months off but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win and it would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives; needs a close look back on the Flat.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when battling well to score at 20-1 at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces reapplied) two weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and his first win was on turf; shortlisted.

Off the mark for this stable at Newmarket in September; lively in the betting for both starts this spring and he built on a midfield finish at Newbury when fourth of ten at Ascot (again 6f, good) four weeks ago; respected from the same mark.

Versatile regards ground; six wins include two here (7f/5f) and he was second in this race last year; yet to get going this term but there was the faintest hint he might be on the way back at Chester (5f) last time and maybe the return to this trip can help; mark fine.

Goes well fresh and he scored on his seasonal/handicap debut last April; again ran well when close third off this mark on his comeback (also Ripon, 6f) this term; he didn't back it up when suffering a heavy defeat at York last time, albeit from a poor draw, but this represents a drop back in grade so he's not dismissed.

Eight visits to Doncaster yielded one soft-ground win over this trip in October; made an encouraging return when sixth of 19 in March but didn't back that up when last behind Novello Lad (again C&D, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's not the most uncomplicated but mark is fine if he can bounce back.

Both visits here came in the summer of 2024 and yielded a third followed by a win, both at 6f on good to firm; that was his last success on turf but he scored on AW three starts back and last month's return to grass from the widest stall at Chester can be ignored; not ruled out.

Tends to lead; hit the ground running by winning his first four starts for Ruth Carr last year; plenty of good efforts followed including when he beat 18 others to score at York (6f, good to firm) in June; now 2lb below that last winning mark so a handicapping case to be made, but he did not sustain his effort when finishing well held at York a fortnight ago.

Made her debut only ten months ago and she bagged an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm) in August on second start; couldn't defy a penalty on AW next time, while a swing at a Listed race proved beyond her when last seen; look for market interest on this handicap/seasonal debut.

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

Big improvement after a gelding operation when a clear third on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; was only just caught in the closing stages of that race and he's just 1lb higher on this drop back in trip; big player with cheekpieces added.

Nine-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear when third at Doncaster (good to soft) and second at Nottingham (good) this spring; enters the reckoning on that form and he may have had stamina issues over 1m4f in a Class 4 at York last time; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade.

Showed promise in novice events at Southwell (1m) and Wolverhampton (9.4f) in her first two starts this year; disappointing when well backed at Southwell (1m) in March but she's had wind surgery since and this well-related filly should have a future in handicaps; needs watching in market for in-form yard.
