Comment: Four starts over C&D have brought him two wins and two narrow seconds, the last three under Alice Tregoning; turning into a course specialist and a 3lb rise for the latest of them in March should not prevent another big run.

Comment: Most of his family were campaigned in US but his one British-based sibling did win here; not much to show for three qualifying runs on AW at about 1m, the last two for this yard, but he now makes his handicap debut up in trip with Simon Walker booked; that last point alone makes him of interest.

Comment: Beaten under 3l by the classy Kikkuli in a Newmarket 7f maiden in April 2024 when with Jane Chapple-Hyam; went down by 12l on stable debut (having been gelded) at Doncaster (7f) but that was a fair race and he should improve; plenty of stamina in dam's side of pedigree; has a tricky draw to overcome here.

15/2

Comment: Won off 5lb higher at Nottingham last June (has also won on AW); returned to form on his third start for this yard when fourth of 15 here (his first try at 7f) last month; lost two places late that day so this return to 6f should suit; player.

15/2

Comment: Consistent in defeat in 7f and 1m handicaps last year but he wasn't progressing and that was the case again on his reappearance at Brighton two weeks ago, when the drop back to sprinting didn't spark any improvement; others appeal more.

Comment: Won Carlisle novice (6f, good) last summer in first-time blinkers; below form in three runs this year, including on AW and latterly when beating one home on his stable debut last time; returning blinkers, declining mark and the Rossa Ryan booking are the positives.

Comment: All five wins have come here but over further, the latest off 1lb lower last October (7f); ran creditably in a competitive race two starts back and it was a good effort when second last time (also here over 7f); first start at 6f since early 2023.

16/1

Comment: 3-12 on AW and he's also run well here, including when second in a first-time tongue-tie this month; however, he was slowly away when favourite and last of six over C&D one week later; possibly that came too soon and he could bounce back.

Comment: Three AW wins since October, including here over 7f (second win over that C&D) and over 6f at Southwell; poor effort at the latter track last time, however, when returning from a 95-day break, and has a question to answer now.

Comment: Runner-up on debut at Newbury (5f, soft) in April 2023 but it's been downhill since, including on AW (6f) and when making his handicap debut at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; widest stall and he's now tried in a tongue-tie.

Comment: 0-7 on AW; best form when winning twice at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last summer, both from the front under Jason Watson; not so good on her stable debut over that C&D a fortnight ago, but she took a run to get going last year and could well do better; needs to prove this surface suits, though; cheekpieces added to her usual hood.
