Ziggy's Missile
Won after a break over C&D (on only start here) in February; highly progressive after and his latest win, at Southwell in March, was gained in commanding style; not quite in the same form in a higher grade at Newcastle in June but remains of great interest; has been gelded.

Diomed Spirit
Four consecutive 5f wins on AW last winter, two over C&D; below best behind One Night Stand when last seen on sand in January and out of luck on turf since but only 3lb above his latest win and he could quite easily turn things round back here.

Night On Earth
One win from five C&D starts, back in 2021; not at best in two starts since his latest win in August but has had a short break and this confirmed front-runner has a big run in him from the rail draw.

Bang On The Bell
Went from strength to strength on AW last winter and well suited by this C&D; often leads but Night On Earth (worse off at these weights) got the better of the early battle when this one came through for a clear win at Chelmsford in March; below best back there latest but can't rule out.

Commander Straker
Pacey front-running 2yo who won 5f novice at Bath; missed all of 2023 and off since good comeback over 6f here in March; had wind surgery after and now tongue tied; has highest draw and other front-runners in opposition so perhaps not this time.

One Night Stand
Won 2-7 here and now has first run on the track since C&D win in February; well handicapped again but he likes to get on with it and this might not be run to suit, with an easy lead unlikely.

Catch Cunningham
Can lead but very effective when ridden patiently and gained his third win of the year when arriving late over C&D in September; things didn't fall his way to the same extent back here since but the guaranteed pace today will be ideal.

Ecclesiastical
Has won over 6f here but he made light of the return to this C&D for the first time in nearly a year when not hard pressed to win in September; lesser efforts elsewhere since but still on the radar despite being 6lb higher than for the win.

Level Up
C&D winner who ran near his best form on this track when runner-up last week but has work to do on balance of form here.

Ancient Times
Losing run goes back to June 2022 and he's yet to win an AW handicap but still capable on his day and the handicapper is giving him a chance; does need more for first-time headgear though.
