Great Mates
Sole win came in novice at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in November and she ran well on her handicap debut at Newcastle (AW) next time; strong in the market on her stable debut at Newmarket (7f, good; first-time hood) 13 days ago but proved disappointing; steps back up in trip and it will be interesting to see if her supporters return.

Sir Edward Lear
Both wins over 1m2f, the latest at Newmarket last August; now 2lb lower but he's been below his best in both starts since returning from a 194-day break and now attempts 1m for the first time.

Kalamunda
Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces.

Tactical Plan
Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on.

Man Of Desert
11-race maiden but his best two efforts have been over this C&D; probably didn't stay 1m2f here 35 days ago and has since been dropped a further 3lb; tongue-tie now goes on and he has possibilities back at 1m.
