Ended long barren spell when making most over 7f here last month; two solid runs in defeat since and he should give it another good go; not the only pace on show though and he's drawn out wide.

Ran away with 1m handicap at Epsom last July off 3lb lower; less good in three subsequent runs; back from five months off and stable looks to have more pressing claims with Arctician.

Four runs over C&D have yielded three wins and a second; she looked better than ever when comfortably seeing off six rivals here four weeks ago; this is deeper but there could be more in the tank.

Hold-up performer whose four AW wins have all come at Southwell; another solid effort back there four weeks ago and he ran well in one run here back in 2019; strong early pace would bring him right into the reckoning.

Lightly raced 4yo who went close in a C&D handicap when last seen 196 days ago (first run after a gelding operation); that took his AW record to 223; retains potential on this surface and Oisin Murphy on board for his return; headgear left off but he still looks a solid contender.
