Landed Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but better form after wind surgery when bagging Haydock handicap (5f, good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and ran well for second (5f, AW; winner on the middle leg of a hat-trick) on his reappearance, while latest start from a wide stall at Chester can be written off; needs considering.

SR 73 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Off the mark on her third start when taking a Windsor maiden (good to firm) in June and it was a fine effort when second of 12 in Listed event at Ayr (also 5f, soft) in September; makes her handicap debut on this reappearance and she warrants respect.

Improved in three consecutive C&D appearances last summer, finishing third of seven in Listed event before a commanding maiden win (also good; made all) in July; was cast in her box the night before an August assignment after which her trainer recently reported she was never really right; that stable tour also offered hope she's back in a good place and can go well on this handicap debut/reappearance.

Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering.

In the placings on all five starts on a variety of surfaces as a juvenile (6f/7f) and he deservedly made the breakthrough on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; respectable fifth of 14 at Hamilton on his recent handicap debut and this experiment at 5f looks worth a go.

Catterick maiden (good) winner in August who was every bit as good when third at Wolverhampton (also 5f, AW; Kolkata Knight second) in March; didn't look to be making much of an impression when the door slammed in his face at Thirsk last time but it's too soon to write him off.

All starts at 5f; fast turf no problem when runner-up at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) in August and he bolted up in Wolverhampton maiden in November having previously gone quite close on handicap debut at Southwell (also AW); underwhelmed on final start of last term but subsequently gelded and he's in the right hands to progress this season.

Sole start at 5f came at this track and it was his best effort too, when second of nine in a maiden (good) in August; last two runs were at 7f and didn't scream he's desperate for this return to 5f; not handicapped out of things, though.
