Comment: Made low-key 2yo debut on heavy ground but placed twice on good to firm at Windsor this spring (1m/1m2f) and can make his presence felt again if conditions improve sufficiently for him.

Comment: Very creditable fourth of 22 in valuable Irish sales race (6.5f, good) in September but beaten at skinny odds when close second on final two 2yo starts (both 7f, AW) and failed to build upon decent seasonal/handicap debut (1m) when only sixth at Sandown (1m1f, good to firm) this month; moves up in trip again here; has comfortably the best form but patience in him is starting to wear thin.

Comment: Kept on well for clear second of five here (1m4f, good to soft) eight days ago and will be fine over today's shorter trip but his record for Grace Harris since the autumn is rather mixed; others in this line-up appeal more.

Comment: Did very well over hurdles for Jeremy Scott last spring/summer, winning four times on good ground; returned from layoff with low-key AW run for new stable three weeks ago but has slipped to a very tempting Flat mark.

Comment: Safely held on recent seasonal debut and now 0-7 but went close off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in October and it's notable that the headgear is refitted here.

Comment: Often loses ground at the start but she was very consistent on the AW in first few months of this year (two wins) and didn't really enjoy the run of the race when respectable sixth on recent turf return at Bath (1m2f, good); versatile ground-wise; each-way claims at least.

Comment: Just held on to exploit much reduced mark at Kempton (1m3f, AW) this month but his well-held third here (1m4f, good to soft; behind Baikal) eight days ago was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon; due to run in 5.15 here yesterday,

Comment: Now 2lb lower than when winning at Epsom (1m2f, good) last summer but yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (1m2f-1m4f) and today's drop back to 1m may not be ideal; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Comment: Scored on Tapeta during the winter (1m6f) but returned from break with very disappointing run on that surface last month and switches back to turf with a point to prove; usual hood removed from headgear ensemble.

18/1

Comment: Regressive 10yo who has been badly out of form since returning from a long layoff in the autumn (five runs); revival urgently needed.

Comment: Quite useful in his prime but very lightly raced since 2021; returned from latest long layoff with 22l defeat in 2m AW race won by Fram Castle this month and his current ability is hard to gauge; cheekpieces added.

50/1

Comment: Didn't run badly over hurdles here on this month's stable debut but was well beaten on the Flat here (1m6f, good to soft) eight days ago and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance.
