Yard has been among the winners and he starts handicap life at a sensible level back from seven months off; he'll need to improve on last winter's three efforts though.

1m5f winner at Gowran in April off 1lb lower; however, well beaten back on the Flat 16 days ago (1m6f) after two runs over fences; others might be too quick at this trip even if returning to form. |

Dual Polytrack winner who returned from a break with a near miss at Kempton (1m3f) in September but she faded into a well-held sixth over same C&D last time; bit to prove again after that and has tough draw back on Tapeta. |

By no means disgraced in his last two starts including when fifth of 14 over 1m3f here 12 days ago; however, being untried beyond 1m4f and a record of 1-27 are reasons to be cautious. |

Regressive maiden who's done most racing over 6f-7f and will need to improve for this much stiffer test from the outside stall; is a half-sister to a C&D winner who stayed further, though, so that's not impossible.

All three wins in 2023, the latest one year ago off 4lb higher; latest start ten days ago was her most positive show this season and she may well be able to build on it, with trip/ground looking suitable on 2023 evidence. |

In very good form for Sarah Bowen, winning at Goodwood (1m1f) and Brighton (1m4f) before things didn't go quite his way at Newmarket 16 days ago; 0-10 on AW but he's run enough good races, including over C&D, to make him a prime contender down in grade. |
