Having made his debut at only the end of January and had five AW races, IT'S TIM (nap) can make a winning transition to turf judged on the promise he showed when keeping on well for second in a 1m2f handicap last time. There was plenty of interest in him in the betting that day. Plenty of the others have a fair each-way shout and while most of those are exposed, it's hard to forget that Fiddlers Green won this race last year off the same mark by eight and a half lengths.[Richard Austen]

In the frame on all three starts at this track (all last year) and his consistent form for current stable (when usually ridden by Taylor Fisher) also includes two autumn wins at Wolverhampton; needs to improve on his turf form to win this but no way is he dismissed.
Free-going sort who had a very busy autumn/winter on AW and basically kept his form well under varied tactics; Mason Paetel had a winner for the yard on Thursday but this 5yo has been below form under him on two of last three starts, including when returned to turf eight days ago.
Had three wins in the space of four races last February-April, including this contest (on good) which he took in fine style; back to the same mark today, due to underperforming since last June, but the switch back from AW seemed to do him some good last year, so he needs a second look.
Tongue tied under Jack Callan for both his handicaps, improved second of 11 at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time and that's despite racing wide; this longer trip holds plenty of interest too and he is one to note on turf debut.
2-34 overall, with his last win in 2023 but he had a dose of seconds and thirds last May-August which give him a form chance; reappearance asks a question and he was soundly beaten on his only two starts on softer than good.
Not proven on softer than good; consistent over this sort of trip for most of last term, winning one of her handicaps, but there's more for her to prove after the 212 days off and she needs to be at her peak.
Six races and going down by a length on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) on penultimate start stands out; he didn't get the clearest of runs from off the pace that day and the same was true on turf debut Brighton eight days ago; has raced freely but now steps up in trip.
Only one win from 36 races and although it was over C&D last August, that's from 19 visits here; while she's not the percentage call, a close third over C&D 16 days ago reiterated that she could be on the premises.
