4 times a winner over fences, one over further too. Won at Market Rasen on penultimate start over this trip and a staying on runner-up when a beaten favourite at Southwell last time out. Races off a 2 pound higher mark but the 3 pound allowance claimed in the saddle by Toby Wynne, puts him one pound below that latest mark.

A course and distance winner in August 2023 and then a beaten favourite over a furlong shorter when 3rd of 4 at Newton Abbot next time out. Finished last year 4th of 7 over further at Kempton in October 2023. Not seen again until reappearing in a flat race over 2 miles on the Southwell tapeta last month but will strip fitter for that run. Wears the first time cheek-pieces today which could have a positive effect.

Only raced on turf once and that was in May 2023 when well beaten over this trip at Yarmouth. Won his first race on 12th attempt over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last month, despite being slow away he ran on well to lead inside the final furlong and should go well if able to transfer that form to the turf.

Won over further here in December 2023 when sent off odds-on favourite in a Class 3 and runner-up over 2 miles next time out at Musselburgh in a Class 3 too. His next 3 races have all been in Class 2 company where he has struggled and this ease in grade to Class 4 company looks appealing.

Missed the break, slow away and always behind from stall 1 at Chester last time out. Will need to break smarter today, but if he can get away cleanly he could go well and was a keeping on 3rd over this trip on penultimate start at Musselbugh off a pound higher mark in April.

Runner-up in the Silver Cup over this 6 furlong trip at Ayr on final start of last season in September 2023. Reappeared over 6 furlongs at Doncaster in March and in need of the run and not suited by the drop in trip to 5 furlongs here 2 weeks ago. Those 2 runs will see him strip much fitter though and this return to 6 furlongs will suit.

Runner-up in last year's 2000 Guineas and 3rd in the Irish equivalent 3 weeks later, both over this trip. Lost his way following that but showed a little more promise when 3rd of 9 over further at Newmarket last month following wind surgery. The drop in trip will suit and it is possible that more improvement is to come on second race following that wind operation for each way appeal.

Not suited by the drop in trip when racing over 7 furlongs at Haydock last Saturday when sent off favourite, running on inside the final furlong and taking fourth close to home. Third of 16 over course and distance in the race prior to that off a pound higher mark with the step back up in trip looking likely to be needed.

He races off of 87 today and should benefit from the drop in trip after leading for a long way over a mile here last time out and weakening inside the final 110 yards.

Won at Kelso on penultimate start before pulling up over the Grand National fences here in April 2024. He has been placed over further and completed the Scottish Grand National course over 4 miles last year when 8th of 18 and could go well at a decent price here as a proven stayer.

Course specialist with 5 wins over course and distance, including this race in 2022 and a runner-up in this race last year. The drop in trip will suit after racing over 7 furlongs at Ayr last time out and the return of the blinkers will help, having not been worn in 2 runs this year but wearing blinkers in 4 of his 6 career wins.

As always minimal stakes in an apprentice race but I like horses dropping in trip in these races. Freetodream was denied a hat-trick when sent off favourite over a mile at Brighton last time out running on well at the finish and 3rd of 8. He won his 2 preceding races over 7 furlongs and will be suited by the drop in trip.

10 years old and twice a course and distance winner at this figure of 8 chase track that can lend itself to course specialists. Kept on when runner-up over shorter at Wincanton last month, will come on following that run which was on the back of an absence of 209 days and should welcome the step up in trip.

He had 3 further runs in 2022 and didn’t race again until re-appearing over a mile and a half here 2 weeks ago when keeping on inside the final furlong and 3rd of 6.
