Virtue Patience
Won a 7f maiden here last March; a bit in and out since, but he wasn't beaten far into fifth of ten on his return from 102 days off over C&D (first start since wind surgery) last month; each-way claims.

My Awele
Dual Southwell Tapeta winner (5f/6f) in 2024 and scored at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last summer; 7f has looked to be a struggle, though, so not hard to have reservations over this trip.

Union Island
Five of his six wins have come at around this trip, two on the AW at the end of 2024 and a hat-trick on turf in the middle of last year; may have needed last month's return from 145 days off and not easily dismissed.

9/2 |
Pitney
Has dropped a long way in the weights since returning for this yard last May and went down by only a neck at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; back up 1lb but still one of the likelier winners.

9/4 |
Way To Dubai
Three-time winner over 1m in Germany who is 0-28 since arriving in Britain, but he was beaten less than a length into third of six over C&D on Wednesday; major player with a repeat.

11/2 |
Repertoire
Veteran whose losing run is up to 13 despite a sliding mark and he ended up well held on his return from eight months off at Newmarket (1m, good) in October (has twice won fresh); others appeal more.

Manhattan Chute
0-10 in turf in Ireland and well held in two starts here (6f/7f) for this yard; look elsewhere.

40/1 |
Fool Again
Promising early on as a 2yo, but has gone the wrong way since and now 0-9; 1m2f looked too far on stable debut here 12 days ago, but she still needs the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers to have a positive effect.
