    Verdict
    Proved himself a useful 2-y-o last year and started 2025 with 6f wins at Meydan in January and February. Not in same form when sixth in 7f listed race at Newmarket earlier this month but can't be ruled out back sprinting here.

    Verdict
    €210,000 breeze-up purchase who made it 2-2 when seeing off a couple of promising sorts at Haydock (6f) in September. However, limitations seemingly exposed in Middle Park later that month and faces a stiff task in this company.

    Verdict
    Lingfield winner in September who posted career best when landing 7-runner conditions stakes at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) on return 29 days ago. Further progress may be forthcoming and she looks ready for a crack at this level.

    Verdict
    Successful in 3 of his 4 starts thus far (all on AW) and found further improvement when taking 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 9/2) 29 days ago. More on plate, upped in grade on turf debut here, but may well do better yet.

    Verdict
    Progressed with each start as a juvenile, culminating with success at Yarmouth in September and improved again when excellent neck second of 12 in listed race at Chelmsford City (6f) on return 16 days ago. She remains low mileage and looks sure to go well again.

    Verdict
    Lingfield winner in November who has upped his game in a couple of starts this term, latest when good third of 6 in conditions stakes at Goodwood (8f, good, 3/1) 15 days ago. May appreciate this shorter trip but takes on stronger company now.

    Verdict
    Built on Salisbury novice debut success when taking Super Sprint at this course last summer and far from disgraced in Gimcrack next time. Ended campaign with below-par effort at Doncaster, though, and looks up against it on return here.

    Verdict
    Pinatubo colt who looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at the York Dante meeting this time last year. Not really built on that yet, however, and needs improvement to figure here.
