Salisbury

4-time winner in 2025 who, following a promising start to this season, got back on the up when successful at Chepstow (7f, soft). Races in a similar grade here, however, a 7 lb rise may prevent a follow-up victory.

Creditable effort without fully confirming his reappearance promise when third in a fairly useful handicap at Goodwood last time (didn't have the clearest of passages as he tried to make ground), though is still on a handy mark and can end a long losing run with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Below form in a couple of turf starts last month, though he's looked more straightforward than has previously been the case of late and could be worth another chance dropped in class.

Back-to-back winner of 7f handicaps last summer, he's returned in good nick with in-frame finishes at Doncaster/Thirsk, though will probably need to improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces/a short break.

Always looked to be holding on when successful over 6f at Goodwood last time. There's little reason to doubt that form and with the step back up in trip unlikely to inconvenience, she's expected to go well off 4 lb higher.

C&D winner who produced a career best on the all-weather at Lingfield under this good-value claimer last October. Wasn't in the same form there the following month, but he's since had a breathing operation and is capable when fresh.

One of the most consistent handicappers around, he wasted no time getting back to form when runner-up in a better race at Musselburgh last time, though is now 16 starts without a win.

Winner of back-to-back 6f handicaps at Southwell in the autumn but not in the same form 2 starts for current yard, for all he seemed stretched by 1m on his latest start here
