Artificer (second choice) was in good form at Chelmsford in February when last seen and holds claims if she's able to translate her form to turf, while King Of Speed has been running consistently well. A chance is taken on BRAES OF DOUNE being ready to go on his first start since posting a career best effort at Ayr in September. The selection was runner-up on his reappearance in a very solid campaign last year and could have more to offer from his current mark.[Harry March]

Sole win (19 races) came over 8.5f at Wolverhampton in February before finishing runner-up off this mark over that same C&D; respectable run over 7f there last time; will be suited by the step back up in trip and has twice been second on turf; place claims.
Most recent win came in February at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower and he returned to turf with a creditable third at Bath 22 days ago, keeping on from off the pace; likely to give his running.
Shaped better than the bare result in cheekpieces at Southwell over 7f (denied a clear run) three starts back and ran to a similar level when back in blinkers at Wolverhampton next time; returns to 1m with no headgear for first time since 2023; last June's turf win came off 8lb higher; disappointing favourite here on Friday.
Three-time winner (7f-1m2f) who is 6lb higher than when successful at Musselburgh in August (completing a double); last seen posting a career best effort at Ayr in September; claims if he's ready to go after 218 days off and he was runner-up on reappearance last season.
1-14, with her sole win coming off 5lb higher at Yarmouth (1m) last April; after two runs this term, she needs to return to form in first-time blinkers; visored (below form) once.
Unexposed 4yo who was in good form at Chelmsford when last seen, beaten a neck before winning there in February off 4lb lower than today; well beaten on her only go on turf but that came on soft ground on her debut; strong chance if translating her AW form to turf.
Can front-run; record reads 3-50, with all three of those wins coming on AW; runner-up at Yarmouth over this trip early this month but he's been below that level in both starts since; looks opposable back on turf.
