Plenty of near-misses round here to go with his sole win (9.5f), and remains consistent and on a fair mark; can pull hard and may well be dropped in from stall 13, in which case he'll need some luck.
Off the boil since finishing second off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February but he's been running in sprints latterly; this is easier than he's used to and he ought to fare much better back from a short break.

SR 61 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Related to a few useful winners, including on Tapeta; not much has gone right since a Polytrack win over 1m in the winter and better can be expected at this lower level and back up in distance, so is one to consider.

SR 65 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand.

SR 67 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off.

SR 70 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Wildly inconsistent for the Crisford yard and his current trainer; one of his better efforts back on turf last time but he's no certainty to build on it and his four previous efforts on Tapeta were ordinary.

Dual soft-ground winner for Michael Appleby in 2024 but it's been downhill since returning from almost a year off, with plenty of poor efforts at short prices to his name; said to have been unsuited by Chepstow's undulations last time; this is easier down 3lb.

Enjoyed a successful winter on Tapeta at a lowly level and is back on a workable mark; again didn't look to quite see out 9.5f here three weeks ago; may well be dropped in from a wide stall.

SR 49 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.
Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold.

Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap.

Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; will want a good test over this trip round here and hasn't been at his best on grass lately.

Limited maiden for William Haggas and changed hands last autumn for 6,000gns; off for five months since hanging right (not for the first time) over 9.5f here for new yard and is now tried in headgear for the first time.

Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale.
