BALMACARA ran well in 2 handicaps here last summer and could be worth siding with back down in trip. Theoryofeverything seems sure to add to his tally this season, while Classic, Urban Lion and Asteverdi all make the shortlist too.

    Course winner who has gone well on both starts at Newbury this term, poorly placed 4 weeks ago. Undoubtedly has a race in him from this sort of mark if putting it all together and has Ryan Moore up here.

    Verdict
    Both wins over 1m at Chelmsford but ran a blinder back on turf when going down narrowly in the Newbury Spring Cup 9 weeks ago, beaten just a neck (Classic third). Nudged up 3 lb and still lightly raced.

    Verdict
    Won at Doncaster (7f) first 2 starts in 2024 and couple of good efforts in handicaps here after. Well held after 6 months off at Kempton (11f) 11 weeks ago, looking in need of the run but also too fresh. Can do better back at this venue and down in trip.

    Keeping busy and struck again in 4-runner Lingfield handicap last month. Weakened at Chelmsford last time and this isn't any easier, but did win on his only other start here.

    Verdict
    Struck twice for this yard last season, notably bagging a decent handicap at Ascot (1m, good to soft) in September. Well backed and shaped promisingly on return at Haydock after another breathing operation 3 weeks ago and seems sure to win again this year. First run at Sandown.

    Verdict
    Took the C&D fillies' handicap on this card last year and brought the curtain down on 2024 campaign by adding to her tally at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy), on what was her final run for Alice Haynes. 3 lb rise fair enough and ran well on reappearance last season. Interesting under Oisin Murphy.

    Verdict
    Took a step back in the right direction at Epsom last week and could be building up to something, now on the same mark as when winning the Lincoln in 2024. One to consider.

    Thrived last year, winning 6 times, but merely ticking over at present, well held here a fortnight ago. Headgear given a whirl.
