Rory Rocket
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty.

Dark Sun
Plenty of near-misses before finally off the mark over 5f at Bath four weeks ago; the cheekpieces have had a positive effect and the extra furlong looks fine; upped 5lb; needs considering.

Calafrio
Polytrack winner in a first-time tongue-tie last backend when returning from wind surgery and four months off; that was not the first time she'd gone well fresh and this six-month layoff is not offputting, but she was held at short prices in two runs off her revised mark.

Lahina Bay
2-2 over C&D (both in 2023) and tends to come to hand around this time of year; back on a fair mark and offered more last time, so there are positives for a yard that took this three years ago.

Be An Angel
Sole win came over a stiff 6f and she'll be happier back up in trip having lacked early toe at Windsor last time; yard won this last year, she's down to a career-low mark and sports first-time headgear under 5lb claimer Charlie Tucker; reasons for optimism.

Snooker McCrew
Rare Flat runner for his jumps-orientated yard; his win for Stan Moore came over 1m (Polytrack) and he went 1m2f once, so he has a bit to overcome running after such a long absence and in a sprint for the first time.
