Much will depend on whether The Organiser is fully over Tuesday night's exertions, and the likeliest to capitalise if he isn't may prove to be KING OF YORK, conqueror of Billy McGarry last time and still on a great mark next to that of his win in this race in 2024. The selection's stablemate Thanks Dad (next best) and Emily Post are both back in form yet still on career-low marks, and are respected, along with Soames Forsyte. [Jeremy Grayson]

Strongly backed ahead of his ultimately successful stable/Tapeta debut in a C&D 0-72 on Tuesday night, albeit he got up only close home; quick turnround after a hard enough race concerns more than a penalised mark which still compares favourably to his peak high-90s RPRs of yesteryear.
Still only summer 2023's Kempton 7f win to his name, but twice ran to the same form level before Christmas on Tapeta (one C&D); downward trajectory to his RPRs so far this year, however.
Two wins and two places over this C&D since most recent wind operation; too disinclined to settle in a race not run to suit latest, but revival entirely plausible if this race takes a more favourable shape.
3lb higher than for the last of three turf wins (6f-1m) in 2024; eyecatching fourth over 6f here exactly a year ago when returning from an absence not dissimilar to today's, but unraced on synthetics since.
C&D novice winner on his November 2023 racecourse debut, but below that level here and elsewhere since, trailing Soames Forsyte by over 3l latest (both pulled hard); tongue-tie debuted there is retained.
Held up in a slowly run C&D 0-68 latest and did well to go down by just over 1l in the circumstances; remains on the same career-low mark despite outrunning it there, and turn may be inching closer again.
Ripon 6f scorer last May (soft) and yet to prove anywhere near so persuasive on Tapeta as turf, another refusal to settle not helping matters over this C&D last time (17l behind Embarked)
0-15 but didn't curl up once headed in the first-time visor over this C&D last time, going down by just half a length; career-low mark unchanged following that, and claims if the headgear is as effective again.
Does all of his winning in February and March over this C&D, and although back up the weights for beating Billy McGarry last time is still 11lb lower than when landing this event in 2024; a threat to all again.
Twice lately mown down by well-treated rivals over this C&D, most recently King Of York, whom he reopposes on 6lb better terms (ignoring rider claims); still above any winning mark but place claims at the least.
Now 10lb lower than for last September's C&D 0-72 success; blinkers of all three career wins are back on after cheekpieces failed to provoke significantly better, and hopes likely rest with these.
