Comment: Won a Class 5 Pontefract handicap (5f, good to firm) off a 13lb higher mark 12 months ago; also successful over C&D off 10lb higher in November; mixed bag this year and last two runs have been poor but this is weak and he's a major player.

Comment: 575,000euros yearling; 9-4 at Wolverhampton three months ago and would probably have won had he not been forced to challenge so wide (form has been well advertised); that was over 5f and looks sure to be better at 6f; left Ralph Beckett (same owners) and new trainer fits a hood.

Comment: Consistent over 6f/7f on turf as a 2yo; weakened out of contention from 2f out when 80-1 for last month's seasonal/AW debut here (1m) but probably needed that outing; no surprise if she lasts a bit longer today.

Comment: Won off a reduced mark at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) on June and didn't run badly in race that developed into a slog there (1m1f, soft) last month; back in trip for this AW debut and could have a say if the new surface suits.

Comment: Didn't run badly when fourth on consecutive 7f starts at Epsom last month but has basically been disappointing since winning quite valuable 6f Polytrack handicap for Roger Varian in early 2024; others preferred.

100/1

Comment: Made all off 1lb higher at Windsor (1m, good) in spring 2024 and will also be suited by today's trip-and-surface combination but returned from long absence with 15l defeat last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

Comment: Started off in handicaps with two turf wins (1m5f/1m6f) and made the frame on his next two outings (1m4f/1m6f); persistently denied clear run before running on for third at Sandown (1m6f, good) last time and may still have more improvement to come.

Comment: Disappointed when upped to 1m6f last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-8 but made the frame in three consecutive turf handicaps in May-July (11.4f-1m4f) and those efforts make him of interest here.

Comment: Triple turf winner last year (1m2f-1m4f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but made bold bid from the front when close second at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month and subsequent run in a Racing League event was perfectly respectable; probably won't be far away.
