Off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in May and responded well to the refitting of blinkers when doubling her tally in 13-runner handicap at this course (8.1f, 13/2) 6 days ago, readily. Big shout under a penalty.

Won twice over 7f last winter (including over C&D) and aside from a no show over hurdles in October has run with credit all 3 starts on the level since, latterly when fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 5 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not out of things.

Won a 7f handicap on heavy ground at Doncaster last autumn and best effort since when narrowly denied over C&D in February. Recent efforts decidedly mixed however, making little impression when seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 25 days ago. Blinkers go back on now.

Four-time winner who has eased in the weights this year and he ran respectably when fourth of 16 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good, 9/1) 36 days ago, outpaced 2f out before keeping on. Return to 7f in his favour (all wins gained at this trip) and he's one to bear in mind.

C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. 22/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 41 days ago, weakening 1f out. Needs to get back on track now.

3-y-o who is still in search of first success but step back in right direction returned to AW when second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 8 days ago. On a workable mark if he can back that up.

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (11/2) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 27 days ago, looking well suited by the testing ground. Not out of things back up in trip.

Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2024. Sixth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago, never threatening.

Course winner. 40/1, last of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 23 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Cheekpieces back on but would need to see market confidence to make him of significant interest.

Course winner who looked rusty returning from 4 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 27 days ago. Better showing anticipated and he lines up here operating just 1 lb above his last winning mark.

Winner of a 1m handicap at Gowran in May but form tailed off for Thomas Dowling. However, not disgraced starting out for new yard when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 2 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and not ruled out.
