Comment: Trainer enjoying a good summer and she did her bit when off the mark on her yard/turf debut back from nine months off four weeks ago; remains open to further improvement upped 5lb and is one to consider.

Comment: Front-runner who proved this trip within range when making all in a small field at Ffos Las off a 3lb lower mark three weeks ago; yet to run on ground faster than good and might not want it too quick but a good chance he'll be able to lead again from stall 1.

Comment: Tremendous money-spinner who was back to somewhere approaching his best when second in the Group 3 Chipchase at Newcastle (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; raced predominantly at sprint trips but one of his four 7f starts resulted in a valuable win in Saudi in early 2024; should go well.

Comment: Bang-in-form 5yo who posted a career-best performance when scoring here (2m, good) a fortnight ago; today's drop back in trip won't be a problem; likely contender again.

Comment: Came good for Bernard Llewellyn at fourth attempt, keeping on well to cause 33-1 surprise here (1m4f, soft) four weeks ago; subsequent 5lb rise might be enough to leave him vulnerable but today's trip-and-ground combination should also suit.

Comment: Seemingly back in prime form when winning at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but this race looks more competitive, and he ran poorly when last in action (reportedly unsuited by good to firm ground).
