Comment: Best of his three qualifying races was second start (1m, AW); never remotely near the leaders that day but he's bred far more for this trip and further; off ten weeks (gelded) since latest start and cheekpieces go on; 7lb claimer too; could be posed to find improvement on handicap debut.

Comment: 0-7 in Ireland last year; made the frame in two of his three British handicaps for new connections, upped to 1m2f when third of ten at Bath (firm; Respiro Solitario fourth) on latest outing; that proved his stamina and, having hung left, cheekpieces are now given a go.

Comment: Made the frame in the last four of his five handicaps, last time when upped to 1m2f (plenty of stamina in the family) on firm ground at Bath, but that was a dip in form and he hung left in the closing stages.

Comment: Second over 1m2f at Lingfield (AW) and Brighton (good to firm) in her first two handicaps, before a lesser show when never dangerous in blinkers over 1m4f at Chepstow; that experiment is abandoned on both fronts and she's in serious calculations for this apparently weak race.

Comment: Almost two years between her two wins, the latter at Newcastle (5f, AW) last October; 0-11 on turf but beaten about only 2l in a Catterick handicap (5f, good to firm) latest outing; hooded once (2023) and now tries cheekpieces.

Comment: Last month's breakthrough success came at the 18th attempt but he ran respectably in another Catterick 5f handicap ten days ago, confirming that he's one of the most likely to give his running in this field; tongue tied for those last two outings; player.

Comment: Both wins over 1m2f but stays this far; only raised 1lb for last month's narrow Newcastle success and every reason to think he will be in the thick of it once again.

Comment: Successful over this trip at Southwell last summer off 2lb lower; perhaps in need of his return to action at Doncaster last month and Rossa Ryan always a positive booking for the stable.

Comment: Back on the up this year, winning a 1m2f handicap at Yarmouth in April and following it with a good second at Pontefract; dam was a 1m3f winner, so today's longer trip may prove to be in range and he should go well if he improves for the extra yardage.

Comment: Soared up the weights last summer, winning five times at around this trip (including C&D); tailed off in both runs this year (blew the start latest) but she's back to her last winning mark and Marco Ghiani returns to the saddle (record on her reads 1121217).

Comment: Still a maiden (0-12) but placed a good few times and did well to finish so close at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) having raced freely in the new cheekpieces; her turn should come.

Comment: Finished strongly to lead on the line in a Bath nursery (5f, good) and again got outpaced before keeping on when 3l off the winner at Goodwood ten days ago; might well strip fitter for that and this stiffer finish should work in her favour.

Comment: Had nine starts and the AW win last summer (beating Winchurch over 5f; 3lb higher) is very much the standout; 50-1 and trailed home last at Windsor a month ago; that was in cheekpieces but no great significance in the return of blinkers.
