9st 9lb

J: William Carson

T: Adam Kirby

Has done well since joining Adam Kirby and his record over 5f reads 11122, but he finished out of the frame in his only start on turf which does pose a question.

9st 4lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Adam Kirby

Looked ahead of his mark in first three 5f wins on the AW, most recently at Southwell in March; missed a beat at the start and only just failed to reel in the more prominently ridden Spendmore Lane at Lingfield since; raised a further 3lb but still has potential.

J: William Carson

3-3 over 5f, including here, and he took his form to a new level with a comfortable Southwell success last month; up 6lb and now tackles Class 5 company but his ceiling is yet to be established.

9st 5lb

J: William Carson

T: Adam Kirby

Races freely and unbeaten (2-2) at 5f; quickened readily when winning at Lingfield last August on final start for Martin Dunne; new trainer has made a promising start and this gelding may still be unexposed; very interesting despite a 7lb rise.

J: Charles Bishop

T: Martin Dunne

Not much when to plan for him here (6f, turf) on latest outing 12 weeks ago and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he finished strongly when winning at Wolverhampton (5f; first-time tongue-tie) in March and is not yet fully exposed.
