Sonmarg could well play a part if taking another step forward on his fourth start for David Evans, while Sir Maxi is already due a 1lb rise for his Newcastle second a week ago. The usually consistent C&D winner Kondratiev Wave could easily bounce back from a lesser effort last time, but the vote goes to AMAYSMONT (nap) whose record around here reads 137111. He has also been successful under today's rider Lauren Frost.[David Bellingham]

Record around here reads 137111 and he has held his form well since winning over C&D off 2lb lower in November; record under Lauren Frost reads 4215 and much respected back at this venue; stable also runs Broxi.
Stable won this race last year and he should be all the better for his reappearance from five months off at Southwell five days ago, but he is 0-22 since the latest of his two wins in 2022 and still has stamina to prove.
Won twice at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) at the end of 2023 and twice placed from 1lb higher on Polytrack late last year, but his recent form has an uneven look to it; others may be safer.
1-14 for Chris Dwyer, the win coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last June; changed hands for 10,000gns in November and makes her debut for her new yard after five months off; watch market.
0-17 though often placed since winning his second start as a 2yo, as when second of five over C&D in January; may not have achieved much, but that was better on just his third start for the yard and he could step up again; player.
Four wins last year including one over C&D; lesser effort at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) eight days ago, but usually consistent and his record here reads 512; could easily bounce back.
Equally effective over 6f and 7f and is 1lb well in having been beaten less than a length into second of eight at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a week ago; has winning form on Polytrack (at Lingfield) and unlikely to be far away.
Three-time winner in Ireland, the latest at Dundalk (7f, Polytrack) in October; probably best to ignore latest effort there and worth a market check on stable debut.
5lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a year ago, but that his only win in his last 22 starts; well beaten on last month's stable debut under Alexander Woodford at Southwell (6f, Tapeta); others preferred.
