J: Clifford Lee

T: K R Burke

He wasn't at his very best last year but took a step back in the right direction when front-running fourth of 21 off this mark in the Lincoln at Doncaster five weeks ago on first run for new yard; no stamina worries but there is a concern about good to firm ground.

J: Sam James

He wasn't at his very best last year for George Boughey, albeit he did finish third in the Listed Doncaster Mile over C&D (good to soft) on this card; now down to a mark 3lb lower than when runner-up in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft) in July 2024 and his new trainer is a dab hand with topweights in big handicaps; goes well fresh and could have a big say.

J: Billy Loughnane

Smart at his peak but has not run to his best this year, only eighth when favourite for a handicap at Epsom on Oaks day; first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are left off here; returns from three-month break with his yard in form.
