Consistent since handicapping including a win at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) just under a year ago; may have needed last month's Salisbury return (1m6f, good), but good to firm ground would be a concern.
AI verdict

SR 84 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Missed the whole of 2025; needs to put a lesser effort in a 0-95 contest at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last month behind him, but this is easier and he is just 1lb higher than for his last win, which came over this trip.
AI verdict

SR 79 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid.

SR 68 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Has done well since switched to Flat turf for his last two starts with the visor added, winning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in April before second of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month (winner followed up at Chester on Saturday); up just another 1lb and high on the list.

1-20, but no doubting his consistency and was only just behind Naval Tribute when third of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month; has had more chances than his old rival, but should again go well from the same mark.
AI verdict

Showed a fine attitude when just getting the better of a subsequent winner to make it seventh-time lucky on turf debut at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; 3lb higher, but remains unexposed and is shortlisted if seeing out the longer trip (stays 1m6f).

Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling.

Ex-French; no questioning his stamina with the form of his last three starts at Kempton (2m, AW) reading 122; has something to prove under these conditions, though.
