Ffos Las maiden winner who has shaped well all 4 starts so far this season, staying on well when third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f) 9 days ago. Yet to encounter ground this soft but present mark certainly looks exploitable. Cheekpieces on first time for stable who won this 12 months ago.

Proved better than ever having been gelded when defeating a subsequent winner at Epsom (6f) in August and emerged with credit from a tricky draw when staying on well for fifth behind Miraculous at Chester (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Fancied to be much closer to that rival on these revised terms.

Scored twice in 2025 campaign and plenty of good efforts to his name this time around, running right up to his very best when second in last week's Ayr Bronze Cup (clear in near side group). Raised 3 lb on the back of that but conditions fine and this 6-y-o commands respect.

Capitalised on reduced mark when opening her account for the season at Hamilton (6f) in August. Placed both subsequent starts, running a cracker when just touched off in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f) 2 weeks ago. Mark has crept up further but versatile as regards ground and she's respected.

Winless this season but she posted a good sixth in Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f) in July. However, has essentially looked in the grip of the assessor in trio of handicaps in recent weeks. Return to sprinting may help, though, with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Ended a losing run from much-reduced mark at Southwell (6f) in August and quick to dispel a lesser effort at Doncaster when bolting up at Chester (6f, heavy) last week, justifying sustained market confidence in the process. A 9 lb rise asks for more in what is a stronger race, however.

Four-time winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy. Yet to get his head in front for present yard, but well backed minus cheekpieces when posting a creditable third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f) 6 weeks ago. Not dismissed from this reduced mark with forecast conditions holding no fears.

Ex-Hong Kong performer who is enjoying a fine campaign, with his Newmarket win in July proving really strong form and he shrugged off a 4 lb rise with a last-gasp success at Doncaster 6 weeks ago. Recent improvement has come on much quicker ground, which has to be a concern ahead of this.

Made a successful return at Sandown (5f) in April but has failed to kick on, albeit rather isolated on the far wing when seventh of 9 in a 5f handicap here 3 weeks ago. Step back up in trip/softer conditions won't inconvenience him here and assessor continues to ease his grip.

Pinatubo colt who built on his debut effort when off the mark at Kempton (6f) in April. That form proved very strong and he had little fuss defying a penalty at Newcastle (5f) in May. Off 3 months, disappointed on handicap debut at York (5f) 6 weeks ago but certainly not one to be writing off.
