Comment: Was returning from a short break when fourth behind Banana and Savalas over 5f here nine days ago; this trip should be more suitable and he's one to take seriously.

Comment: Comes here on the back of a series of good efforts on AW; makes his turf debut but his dam was fully effective on fast ground; doesn't have to lead and could get a nice tow into it from stall 2.

Comment: Two 6f AW wins in late 2023; not firing on all cylinders so far this year but the drop in trip and change of accessories could give him a lift; lower turf mark but hasn't shown much in this sphere.

Midnight Flame

Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Joe Ponting Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 6-5098 OR: 45

Comment: Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes.

Comment: Campaigned mostly on AW, solid second over 1m2f at Lingfield most recently (thriving winner has advertised the form since); possibilities, provided he doesn't regress in this belated return to turf.
