Bowood
Completed a turf hat-trick last summer; 0-13 on AW but went close twice over C&D in December and holds a fighting chance back here; less effective at Lingfield last time.

Encourageable
Defied a higher mark on turf in 2022; inconsistent since and has failed to dazzle on AW this winter; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time blinkers.

Lerwick
Close second over C&D (AW debut) in October; backward steps at Newcastle since but the return to Southwell, combined with first-time blinkers, may prompt a turnaround.

Hitched
Good effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last Saturday, taking his record since November to 1113212; due to go up 2lb in future and again holds a very solid chance.

Grabajabba
Form figures of 411 in 7f novice events, the wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton; still open to further progress; interesting handicap debutant, assuming he stays the new trip.

Cavalry Call
Registered sole win on turf; best AW form when close second on two occasions; came up short in higher grade last time and this looks a slightly easier assignment.

First Kiss
Successful in Kempton maiden (7f) on final start for the Gosdens; down the field in C&D handicap since and needs to do better with headgear now fitted.

Bajan Bandit
Disappointing favourite at Newcastle (AW debut) when last seen; remains well handicapped on best turf form; interesting to see whether his backers return.

Chuzzlewit
Defied a 10lb higher mark on AW last March; far from sure to repeat that win, having been in nothing like the same form since returned to this sphere.

King's School
Consistent at Newcastle (mostly over 7f) since September; remains to be seen whether he'll stay in the same form back at 1m and returned to Southwell.

Gincident
Three-time AW scorer; performed below market expectations in C&D event most recently and hasn't won since 2023 but remains attractively treated on peak form.

Flag Of St George
6f winner in 2023; below best over 7f in both starts last year, latest switched to AW; enough to prove upped further in distance.
