9st 5lb |
Won on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (7f) in January and bounced back from a lesser run there with a Listed win at Doncaster (6f) last month; has an up-and-down profile but he's a contender if again on a going day. |

1st 6 (4) |
26th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has won three handicaps in the last 12 months, two of them at York (6f/7f, good to soft/soft) and the most recent one in comfortable fashion at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January; however, he finished down the field in a Listed race two weeks ago and faces another stiffish task on these terms. |

Useful on both turf and AW; finished behind a couple of these over C&D on Boxing Day but took a step forward when comfortably accounting for five rivals here in early January; could yet take higher rank but this does demand a career-best. |

3rd Apr 2022 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Five-time winner, including a 16-1 success in this race last year; looks a deeper race this time (and his overall stakes-race record reveals limitations) but he is in fine form judged on a 5f handicap win at the Curragh eight days ago. |

Prominent racer who returned to form with thirds in big fields at York and Haydock (6f, soft/good to soft) last autumn; won't be inconvenienced if the ground dries out and in the mix if ready to roll after six months off. |

Has taken his form to new heights as a 6yo, racking up four wins in June and July before thrashing his 24 rivals in the Stewards' Cup consolation at Goodwood; however, there's little margin for error off his revised mark and he was only fourth to Nomadic Empire over C&D two weeks ago. |

|

9th 1 (11) |
12th Apr 2022 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Likeable sprinter whose 6f wins at Doncaster (good to soft) and Ascot (good to firm) last season were deserved after several near misses, and he was running well when badly hampered at York on his final start in October; may need a career best to defy top weight but that's not out of the question. |

Likeable, progressive sprinter whose 6f wins at Doncaster (good to soft) and Ascot (good to firm) were deserved after several near misses; perhaps resented the blinkers when down the field in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago and no surprise if he bounces back to form with the headgear removed. |

A regular big-race 6f winner over the years (on various ground) who was third in this race last season and dashed home to win at York in May; has beaten very few rivals in three runs since but is now just 1lb higher than for his York win and fitting cheekpieces could put an edge on him. |

Useful 6f-7f performer at his best for Clive Cox; unplaced all starts for his current yard but he faced a stiff task in a 5f Listed race at Ascot last week and is now getting some help from the handicapper; goes well on a soft surface, has shaped with encouragement on both his recent outings here and could outrun his likely odds. |

Won three times last year and he's gone back up to a lofty mark; however, it may not be beyond him if he's at the top of his game, and there can be optimism in that regard as he's won the last two runnings of this race; could be spot on for today after his reappearance seventh at Musselburgh. |

Below par at York a fortnight ago, when the 6f trip wasn't to blame, and it's possible he's ready for a break having been on the go since April; however, this front-runner enjoyed a purple patch in 5f handicaps in August and September, and he'll be a player if rediscovering that form. |

Front-running 6f specialist who lost his way towards the end of 2021; well treated on his best form and could be revived by wind surgery, but six of his seven wins have come on ground softer than good and conditions may be too quick for him unless there's plenty of rain. |

Back to form from out of the blue when winning Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good) last month, possibly helped by racing hard against the far rail; a follow-up can't be discounted but his York record (0-11) sounds a note of caution. |

Developed into a very smart performer last season, winning four sprint handicaps, notably the Stewards' Cup (6f, soft) off just 2lb lower; ended the season with two lesser efforts but he has won first time out in each of his three previous seasons and conditions shouldn't be an issue; needs serious consideration. |

3rd 5 (5) |
26th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Quirky but very talented, the winner of six of his 23 starts; has the benefit of a recent run (neck second in Lingfield Listed race last month), unlike most of his rivals, but his best form is at 5f and he may find one or two of these staying on more strongly late on. |
11/1 |
