C&D winner who is 1lb lower than when recording his most recent success last year; inconsistent since then; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) on his penultimate start but was below par back there (1m, good) in a better race than this latest; player if able to go close to his season's best.
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f, including here, on good or slower; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-78 at Hamilton in July; put two lacklustre efforts behind him second back there in a 0-68 latest; each-way player.
C&D winner; 4lb worse off with Gainsbourg for readily beating him by over 2l at Hamilton (8.5f, soft) latest; acts on a sound surface; it has paid to follow him when hitting form in the past; interesting.
Dual 1m winner; acts on a sound surface and good to soft; has slid gradually in the handicap and looks well treated on 2023 form; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; support for him would pique interest.
Former Joseph O'Brien inmate who showed some ability in three qualifying starts but was a shade disappointing when coming in for some support but never involved on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last month; drops 1lb and back again in trip; more needed.
Plummeting in the handicap this season; could have finished a shade closer when beaten 2l over C&D (good; rider dropped hands close home) latest; drops slightly in grade again but still needs to pull out more.
Won a soft-ground maiden (1m) this time last year but has so far been unable to live up to that in handicaps; drops another 2lb but we haven't seen enough recently to suggest that will tip the scales in his favour.
Triple 7f and also 1m winner who acts on good or slower; had been on the slide for Richard Fahey before changing hands prior to his latest C&D defeat; drops another 3lb but big revival needed.
Scored over 5f, 6f and 7f last season; put up his best 2024 effort at Musselburgh (7f, good; first-time visor) latest, when prominent and free-going; headgear now removed for this step up in trip and he'll need to settle better if he is to prevail.
Won this race on heavy in 2022, when 4lb higher (acts on a sound surface); put some lesser efforts behind him when scoring gamely at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) on his penultimate start; below par at Musselburgh (1m, good) latest; more needed.
