Well treated on peak form but has struggled since returning from wind surgery and finished a well-beaten last of three over 3m2f here in May when he may not have stayed; this much shorter trip and first-time blinkers may help but he arrives with plenty to prove.
Completed a spring double last year off 8lb higher; struggled for form after returning in December from a break but fared better when back to front-running tactics at Stratford (extended 2m2f; good to firm) a fortnight ago and a repeat of that effort would put him in the mix.
Triple hurdle winner who has dropped to an attractive mark but for good reason; tailed off over further here last month and, although this shorter trip is a plus, she has plenty to prove.
Two creditable efforts since returning from a short break, latest when a close fourth over 2m1f here last month off this mark; stays this far and enters calculations.
18-race maiden; twice a runner-up over C&D last summer; failed to hit those heights since but shaped with more encouragement on last month's return over C&D, as though the run was needed, and remains on a competitive mark if able to build on that effort.
Still chasing a first British success since his French 2023 hurdle win and, while he has posted a few placed efforts, he has failed to quite see out his races over trips beyond 2m; another 3lb lower but needs to raise his game.
Off the mark at the 25th attempt with a comfortable C&D success ten days ago; a 3lb rise looks fair and a repeat would make him a major player, though his overall profile remains patchy.
Returned from a break to register a third career success here (2m1f, good) last month, under Eleanor Williams; remains competitively treated with 3lb rise and capable of another bold showing if reproducing that performance.
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who had shown little over hurdles until stepped up in trip when a near 6l third behind Saucats over C&D ten days ago; meets that rival on 4lb better terms and enters calculations if building on that performance.
Kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May but may not have stayed 2m4f when below that form last month; tongue-tie is fitted and this drop back in trip could see him in a better light.
Best effort when switched to a left-handed track for a 2m5f handicap at Fontwell in May last time and, although this drop back in trip is not an obvious plus, he remains unexposed and open to improvement.
