Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces.

Progressive 4yo who made the breakthrough when forging clear at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and he followed up under a penalty at Leicester 19 days ago; up another 4lb but he's on a roll and is still relatively lightly raced; big player.

Dual fast-ground winner (1m/7f) for Tom Clover, including on his debut at this track in April 2024; shaped quite well at Kempton (6f, AW) in December but failed to build on that next time and has since left Mick Appleby; has bit to prove after six months off but he's had wind surgery and needs watching in market on stable debut.

Dual winning juvenile (maiden/nursery) who was off for 324 days before showing mixed form in three starts from September last year, just failing in Newmarket handicap (1m, good) but lesser shows either side of that; it's encouraging that this year's campaign is starting earlier but she comes with risks attached after eight months off; tongue-tie added.

Big improver in the first half of last year, with four wins and latest was in this race; struggled in final two runs last season but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and is still lightly raced on turf; needs a close look back from 273 days off.
