Won for Mark Johnston on his first three starts (AW) before his career stalled somewhat; gelded prior to last month's stable/seasonal debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) and won by a neck; could kick on now that things are back on track and his trainer has won two of the last seven runnings of this race, including last year's; has shown promise on turf (on good to soft). |

6th May 2022 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who made it three wins (6f/7f, good-soft) from five starts when landing a big-field handicap at Doncaster last November; fair third of four in Doncaster Listed (1m, good to soft) on reappearance in March and he could still have more to offer for his top yard; respected. |

9st 0lb |
Beaten a nose on Newcastle AW when last seen in December, four weeks after winning an 18-runner handicap on soft ground here had taken his turf score to 3-4 (all turf runs on good or softer); unraced beyond 7f but he's bred to stay at least this far and, after just six starts, should have further improvement in him for his leading yard. |

6th May 2022 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Down the field in the Lincoln but may have needed that comeback run; has the same mark as when fourth in this last year, when also drawn in stall one, and this three-time course winner (good/good to soft) is capable of playing a leading role under crack 7lb claimer Harry Davies if things fall right. |
6/1 |
15th 10 (11) |
26th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Exposed and could be vulnerable against some progressive rivals, but he signed off last season with a win at Ayr in September and he was a creditable sixth on his reappearance in this race last year when not enjoying the clearest of runs; an each-way possible. |

Having dropped down the weights he was a comfortable winner on last Wednesday's reappearance at Ascot (1m, good to firm); has a patchy profile so isn't guaranteed to back up that good run, but he has obvious claims off 5lb higher if repeating his latest form; ran well on good to soft in France. |

Ran as if needing the run on his reappearance at Chester (extended 7f) 15 days ago; won on good to firm earlier in his career but his very best form has come on slower ground so any rain would be in his favour. |

6th May 2022 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |

Runs off a mark 1lb lower than when second at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last October and he may have been ready for a break when well beaten in November; ran right up to his very best when a Listed runner-up on last year's comeback and his chance hinges on the going (best form is on slow ground). |

6th May 2022 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has the widest draw and has to prove she's as good on turf as AW; however, she's lightly raced on grass and has been in fine form on AW of late, winning with something to spare at Lingfield most recently; not discounted. |

All five wins have come over 7f (four on the AW) and appreciated the return to this trip when coming home strongly to gain her second C&D success last month; only scored by a neck, but always looked like winning and a 2lb rise is unlikely to preclude another bold show. |

Ex-Sir Mark Prescott; won at Kempton (1m, AW) in December on his second stable start; has a good low draw and this race is less competitive than the Spring Cup he contested at Newbury on last month's turf debut (after gelding/wind ops), but he was soundly beaten and others are more compelling. |

Looked one to follow for Richard Fahey last May, when winning at Nottingham (1m, soft); form went the wrong way but he staged a revival to win with something in hand on last month's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to soft); the drop back to 7f was against him at Chelmsford last time and he could have more left in the tank now back up to 1m; best form is on slow ground. |
