An open-looking contest with slight preference for SOLANNA, who has been in good order for a while and can have his Kempton run 18 days ago overlooked given how the race panned out. Moonjid and Triple Double A are live threats.

Verdict
Looked a different model when scoring on handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Runner-up next 2 outings and with her Newbury run easy enough to excuse, she got back on track last month, doing too much too soon. Needs to prove she's as good on turf.

Verdict
Overcame pace bias when winning at Kempton (11f) in March and has continued in good heart since, also scoring with a bit in hand at Ffos Las (1¼m) in June. Slowly-run race against him at former venue 18 days ago so that run easy to forgive.

Verdict
A dual 1¼m winner at Newmarket and Doncaster last summer. Shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newbury in May but didn't make the expected leap forward (well backed) at Nottingham 3 weeks later. Gelded since.

Verdict
Resumed winning ways upped to 1¼m at Newcastle in February on return. Last 3 efforts have lacked spark, fading out of things on the back of a breathing operation over 1m 3 weeks ago. Handicapper quick to lend a hand.

Made second handicap start a winning one at Pontefract in May 2025. Expensive to follow later that year, off since finishing lame in September. Returns with yard among the winners.

Verdict
Sixteen runs since last win in 2025. Ran up to form when third of 4 at Newmarket 9 days ago and this is a slightly easier race in a first-time visor.

Verdict
Bounced back to best to double his tally over C&D in June, albeit having the run of the race. Found things tougher in class 3 company next 2 starts but back in his pay grade, he returned to form at Doncaster 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Won successive all-weather starts over 1½m at Lingfield in December/April. Turf form since not quite as compelling, failing to find as much as expected at Epsom a month ago. Cheekpieces back on down in distance.

Verdict
Still seeking first win but posted best effort of the season off reduced mark/first-time tongue strap when second of 5 in a 1m handicap here in July. Failed to back that up at Kempton and has to conclusively prove that he stays this far.
