Comment Won at Musselburgh off 2lb lower in April and he has also run well in defeat at that track and York since; dropped away at Doncaster last time but no surprise to see him bounce back dropped in class.

Comment C&D winner; still 5lb higher than for her last win but she hasn't run badly in two starts this year, especially given the stable were having a cold spell; drying ground would suit.

Comment The winner of 11 races, three of them at this track; two good runs last month, including a Catterick success, but he was a shade disappointing at Carlisle last time; should make another bold bid here and drying ground will be in his favour.

Comment Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark; came into that race in good form, however, whereas this time around he was a remote last of seven at Beverley; revival not impossible but others are more solid; stable also run Lion's House.

Percent 22%

Comment Won his first two starts for Roger Varian in late 2023 (6f, Tapeta); unplaced in two handicaps for that yard in 2024 before changing hands for 38,000gns last October; pulled hard on his stable debut after a break in April but left that behind when coming from off a strong pace to win at Southwell (5f) three weeks ago, wandering around in front but finding plenty; 4lb rise unlikely to prove beyond him but he does have something to prove on this first turf appearance.

Percent 4%

Comment Good progress on AW over the winter; form looked to have levelled off back on turf but he produced a game effort to win at Lingfield (5f, good) 18 days ago; no doubt he was aided by the stands' rail on that occasion and a 5lb rise demands further progress.

Comment Does plenty wrong in his races but he's a five-time winner with four of the victories coming at this track; gained his first win elsewhere when coming from off the pace to score at Hamilton ten days ago, hanging to his left when hitting the front; a 5lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out; stable also run Water Of Leith.

Percent 5%

Comment Best form for Kevin Ryan came on ground slower than good, including both wins; only 1lb higher than for his front-running York win last October; perhaps needed his reappearance at Sandown in April and his subsequent Chester defeat is easy to overlook (drawn 12); drying ground not ideal but not out of it dropped in class.
