9st 4lb

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Stuart Kittow

On dangerous mark and is versatile ground-wise but his last win was in 2023 and he's struggled in both runs this season; has lots to prove and he needs a big turnaround after a break.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Stuart Kittow

On a workable mark and versatile regarding ground, but last month's seasonal debut (7f) was very disappointing and he needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing; blinkers refitted.

J: Rob Hornby

Winless in 2024 but he largely performed with credit, signing off with a good third of nine in 6f Wolverhampton handicap in November; no forlorn hope on his seasonal return.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Stuart Kittow

Only 1lb higher than for his Brighton win (6f, soft) last October, but he's been a bit up and down this year and was only seventh of nine at Bath 11 days ago; regular blinkers now return but he doesn't have a great record on Tapeta and others are more persuasive.
