Comment: Debut winner; gelded prior to finishing third in handicaps at Sandown (1m2f, good) and Kempton (1m3f; both runs in cheekpieces) in August and he had an excuse on soft ground last month; still has potential after only five starts and could be dangerous in new headgear.

Comment: Can pull hard and has worn a hood for last five outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f this summer, including for a clearcut win at Doncaster and a creditable fourth over C&D; flopped back at Doncaster last month but that was on tacky ground and he could bounce back on this return to AW.

Comment: In the first three late last year in his three qualifying runs (1m/1m2f, AW/soft); finished in rear on handicap debut at Ayr last month but that was in a Class 2 event after a lengthy absence; should benefit from that run and he needs checking in market on this big drop back in grade.

Comment: Won twice over C&D for David O'Meara and last win was in this race last year; looks well treated on that form but he's failed to reinvent himself as a hurdler for current yard and was tailed off back on the Flat here (12.4f) in July; that was after a third wind operation and he has plenty to prove after another break; tongue-tie back on.

13/2

Comment: In fine form on AW earlier in the year and she made an encouraging return from a summer break when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton last month; all wins at Class 6 level but this isn't competitive for the grade.

16/1

Comment: Won a Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, Tapeta) last August but she's 0-10 since and she hasn't got going for Linda Perratt; continues to edge down the weights but others have more pressing claims.

Comment: Maiden who has blown hot and cold in 2025; no problem with Tapeta but she faded to go down by 10l in first-time blinkers over C&D (22-1) on Thursday night.
