BAYRAAT's two previous runs at this track have resulted in a C&D win and a good third, and the 9-y-o is appealing on the back of an eye-catching reappearance spin at Redcar where he was forced to switch at a crucial stage. Novello Lad shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop back in trip and is feared most, while Havana Sky is also likely to take a hand in the finish.

    Verdict
    Creditable second of 12 in handicap (11/8) at Doncaster (7f, firm) 21 days ago, left with too much to do. 1 lb nudge fair enough and another bold show firmly on the cards back at 6f.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. 4 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Newbury (6f, firm, 17/2) 8 days ago, just holding on. More needed under a penalty in her hat-trick bid.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. 14/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Shaped better than the bare result that day and, given that it was his first run for 8 months, it's probably safe to assume that he'll be sharper this time.

    Verdict
    Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 11/2, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 19 days ago, finding test too much. Cheekpieces back on. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

    Verdict
    Six wins from 20 Flat runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago, suited by way race developed. Just 1 lb above last winning mark and he merits respect.
