Comment: Ran away with a C&D handicap last October but the handicapper took decisive action and she has looked in his grip so far this year; can get it wrong at the start which would be a concern from stall one.

Comment: C&D winner; belatedly ended his losing run at York 19 days ago (6f, good to firm) and he's only 2lb higher today; failed to fire at Newmarket 12 days ago but he wasn't ideally drawn and much better is expected here.

Comment: Just one win since Boxing Day 2023, a 7f handicap at Lingfield in March off this mark; in and out since then but his latest Catterick third was a good run and he's well drawn for a prominent racer; each-way shout at the very least.

Comment: Blew the start on turf last time but he's a better performer on AW and he ran well off this mark at Chelmsford early this month (5f); wide draw not ideal for one that can take a grip early but he usually plies his AW trade in stronger races than this.

Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: M & D Easterby Age/Wt: 3/9-11 F: 1-3010 OR: 84

Comment: Confirmed the promise of his maiden/novice efforts when seeing off 13 rivals in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to soft) last month; ended up well beaten at Ayr ten days ago but he was short of room on a few occasions and then hampered over 1f out, so it may pay to ignore that effort; still has some potential upside and he's interesting on his AW debut.

Comment: Ready win in a Class 5 handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month; has since finished second in a 7f Listed race at Carlisle but that form could be misleading and she was hit with a 12lb rise for her troubles; possibly she's just a rapid improver but looks vulnerable off her revised mark.

Comment: All starts on turf; yet to win a handicap though was beaten just a nose and a head when third of 16 in the competitive Carlisle Bell (1m, soft) in June; similar form when fourth of six up in grade at Hamilton (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago.

Comment: Five wins on AW include two over C&D in cheekpieces last autumn; creditable comeback when third at Haydock (1m, good) in June but last of ten at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; got upset in the stalls that day so may bounce back for a yard that continues to tick along very nicely.

Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: A Keatley Age/Wt: 4/9-12 F: 2-15020 OR: 90

Comment: Ex-French 4yo who has raced only seven times; comfortably won Redcar novice (1m, good to firm) on stable debut in April but up and down since, a good second at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta; his only AW start) off this mark in June sandwiched by two much lesser efforts; unexposed however, particularly on this surface, and needs considering.

Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: M Botti Age/Wt: 5/9-9 F: 79-480 OR: 87

Comment: Second in 1m4f Group 1 in Uruguay, then 0-4 during a spell in UAE; seemed unsuited by the drop back to 7f (good; 33-1) on British debut in June but weakened over that trip at Newmarket (good to firm; 100-1) later that month; drawn widest.

Comment: 2-6 and looked to win with more in hand than the margin would suggest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) this month; 6lb higher and now tackles a new surface, but his sire gets plenty of winners here and he remains unexposed; respected.

Comment: Lightly raced and consistent (122142) including wins on Tapeta here (7f) and at Southwell (1m); 1lb well in after his narrow defeat at Redcar (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago and his pedigree suggests the longer trip should suit; cheekpieces given a go; high on list.

Comment: 4lb higher than when runner-up in this last year; comes into this off the back of a win at Yarmouth (1m2f, soft) a week ago, but he has a better record on turf (11-47) than AW (2-31) and this mark looks demanding.

Comment: Needed the run on his stable debut in April but has done well since, winning at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in May and going down narrowly in two starts on turf (1m2f, good to firm) since; up 3lb and drawn a bit wider than ideal, but still holds each-way claims.
