6/1 9/2 11/2

Having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark he returned to form when third of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Final Night second); he can be in the mix back up 1lb if backing up that latest performance.

SR 74 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Reappeared with a win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March and got up in the final strides to follow up at Southwell (7f, AW); won over 1m last summer and versatile ground-wise; this progressive 5yo is climbing the weights only slowly and could play another leading role.

Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack.

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

Promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last March on his second start but has beaten only one rival in three handicaps since; very lightly raced and first-time cheekpieces are now applied; hard to fancy.

Went close off 9lb higher on handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last October but his form has gone the wrong way subsequently and he was well beaten at Haydock last month when wearing this headgear combination.

Promising start to his career and he's tumbled down the weights, but for good reason; makes stable debut following a long absence and a major turnaround is necessary.

Three wins last May-August (5f-6f, including on good/firm) and she's 2lb below her last winning mark; however, she hasn't been at the top of her game on her last five starts, the latest in December.

Made all twice in a row over 1m on the other Newmarket course last summer and he's back down to his last winning mark; however, he has to improve upon what he's shown on his three starts this year.

Blew the start at Leicester last month when making it 1-18 on turf; however, he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and was back on the scoresheet there (7f) last Thursday, and is not ruled out today.

AI verdict

SR 63 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Chamber verdict Balanced lens

Wrydcroft

Speculative

Wrydcroft owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (34) and market confidence (49). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
