12st 0lb

J: Ben Smith

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Second in this race in 2023 and third last year (both on soft); reappeared with a win from out of the handicap at Kelso (3m2f, good) in October; soundly beaten off career-high mark at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) latest and just 1lb lower today, but he's back down in grade and not ruled out.

11st 6lb

J: Craig Nichol

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Won over C&D (good) in April and belatedly followed up at Kelso (3m2f, good) last month despite being out of the weights; on a career-high mark in a hotter race today but this 8yo is clearly thriving and likes it here; versatile ground-wise and could give another good account.

Absent since comfortable success in small field at Haydock (3m1f, good) six months ago; faces a stiffer task from 5lb out of weights in this better race and seems unlikely to follow up.
