Comment: 9yo whose losing sequence goes back 16 races to July 2023 but he's dropped down the weights and ran well when fourth at Haydock (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago; today's shorter trip may suit better and he's not ruled out.

Comment: Won Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in March and neck second to Orchard on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; showed some promise on turf on debut last June but he failed to threaten at Sandown (1m, good) a fortnight ago and needs to leave that performance behind.

Local Hero

Jockey: S M Levey Trainer: R Hannon Age/Wt: 4/9-8 F: 92375 OR: 89

Comment: Went close at Kempton (7f, AW) in March and now 2lb lower; lightly raced on turf and he produced a couple of fair efforts on grass last month, but he needs something extra today to post a first win on this surface.

Believe The Storm

Jockey: K Shoemark Trainer: C Fellowes Age/Wt: 4/9-2 F: 1-22 OR: 83

Comment: Did well to come from behind and make a successful debut at Wolverhampton in December; bettered that form when second under a penalty at Kempton (also 7f, AW) on reappearance and there was almost nothing in it when beaten a head on turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) yesterday; should have more to offer.

Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: H Main Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 708-23 OR: 72

Comment: Won over 6f and 7f in Ireland as a 2yo; a lost soul for much of the time since but down in weights and back to form with second at Wolverhampton (7f) and third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) this year; this is a much higher grade than he needs to contest, though.

Comment: Impressive 7f debut on this track (good to soft) in April 2024 but the 1,000 Guineas next time was too much to ask; seemingly failed to stay 7f on handicap debut at Sandown last June and although she might yet make a sprinter there are some large questions to answer back from absence.

Comment: Lightly raced for a 7yo; useful 4-9 strike-rate over 6f and comes here in good form after making all on Kempton AW last month; was knocked out of his stride away from the main action in this race last year and can't be discounted off 4lb higher with William Buick up for the first time, 5-20 for yard in last five years.

Comment: Has strong C&D form in the past and a sprinting superstar in his time, especially at Ascot, but the old fire is lacking now and he remains on the same mark as when failing to beat a rival back at Ascot in May; reunited with Neil Callan, on board for his latest win in October 2023, and any rain to fall will have helped.

Comment: 0-5 on turf but he was having just his third run in a 6f handicap on grass when only marginally second-best to a useful one at Ascot (good to firm) in May; has caught fire on the AW since, winning twice in quick succession this month; 3lb well in under penalty and his progress can continue.

Comment: Has been running over further, not doing as well as she can over about 7f at Lingfield recently, but best 6f form, including in a strong C&D handicap (good) last May, would make her very interesting off current mark on anything like that form.

Comment: Displayed ability in 1m AW contests in the winter and gelded since; this 105,000gns Teofilo yearling is in top hands and could be an improver now up in trip on handicap debut; interesting contender.

Comment: Won Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in March on fourth start; hasn't run badly in 1m2f handicaps on turf on his last two outings but he needs something extra over a longer trip today.

Comment: Showed improved form when up in trip and runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; he's now been a beaten favourite in both handicaps but this 200,000gns yearling could still have more to offer.

Comment: Took a step in the right direction when upped in trip and third on recent handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft); his dam was a 1m4f Group 2 winner and he's open to further improvement now tackling 1m4f.

Comment: Promise in defeat in Doncaster maiden (1m2f, good) and Newmarket novice (1m4f, good to firm) on last two starts; improvement needed on handicap debut but this 210,000gns yearling is in excellent hands to progress.

Comment: Improved upon his two Meydan runs when second at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month, and he's since finished third in a novice at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); begins handicap life on a fair mark and improvement is possible now up in trip and in first-time cheekpieces; one to consider.

Comment: Runner-up at 66-1 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in April on second start and beaten just a neck at Kempton (1m4f, AW) since); makes handicap debut with yard going well and he's a possible player.

16/1

Comment: 0-6 and yet to finish better than sixth; however, he was sent off favourite when a fair sixth of eight at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) most recently and perhaps the longer trip and first-time cheekpieces will be positives.

Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: T Ward Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 8-23 OR: 73

20/1

Comment: Close second in Kempton maiden (1m3f, AW) in April on second start and improved again when third in first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Goodwood (1m2f, good); on the latest evidence this step up to 1m4f looks a good move on handicap debut and she could have a part to play.

Comment: Two wins towards the end of last year (1m2f, AW) and she's run well in defeat in handicaps on both runs this term (1m2f/1m4f, good/AW), most recently runner-up at Kempton; every chance she'll be thereabouts.

33/1

Comment: Five outings last year, with by far his best run being a close second on nursery debut at Sandown (1m, soft) in September; reappeared with encouraging third of six at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month and could build on that.
