C&D winner last month (good to firm; beat Lipsink) and he followed that with a close second at Salisbury 16 days ago; drawn wide and could prove vulnerable giving weight away all round.

Near miss over C&D in June; only midfield in stronger company on his next two starts but showed he was still a major force at Class 5 level with his last-gasp success at Bath 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); 4lb rise manageable; set to go well again.

Solid start for his new yard in early summer but was disappointing at a short price down to 5f last time; returns to the trademark visor, worn for both wins for Robert Cowell, and needs to bounce back.

Not the first horse to be reinvigorated by the move to Mick Appleby, winning at Nottingham in June and placed in three of his four runs since; clear of the third when headed late on by Treacherous here four weeks ago; 3lb higher but still well treated and likely to make a bold bid.

Lightly raced gelding who sports first-time headgear on his return from three months off; has shown enough, notably on his turf/handicap debut in the spring, to suggest he's worth a look for a trainer who's 3-12 with 3yos here.

A long time since he won but he remains consistent and was unlucky not to go much closer from a wide stall on the AW last time (second-time blinkers; back to the visor tonight); goes well at stiff tracks (C&D winner) and will rightly be popular.

Landed her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Sole win came in a maiden and he's been very expensive to follow in handicaps, getting turned over as favourite the past twice, latterly in first-time blinkers (retained); still has to prove he's as good on turf as on the AW.
