Amathus
August 2022 C&D win is one of three on his cv granted a sharp 7f on fast ground, but rather mixed returns on his visits here since; on a good mark, however, and this race is much easier than the 0-72 of his recent return.

Just held on at Southwell (7f) in March for first win; inconsistency likely accounted for a weak follow-up bid as much as the draw or small raise, and for that reason he's no certainty to cash in a lower turf mark either.

Neptune Legend
Versatile as regards trip (5.5f-1m) and surface and he's on a competitive mark; however, he's been well beaten the last twice, most recently here yesterday, and has something to prove.

Kranjcar
Made his breakthrough at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last week, winning by 2l; carries a 5lb penalty today, under which he ran well when runner-up here (6f, good to firm) yesterday; he may be okay now back up in trip and could be involved.

Sam's Hope
Last week's Wolverhampton second (7f) rates a season's best form effort; remains 5lb below her one winning mark, and it's a case of how much ability she can translate to turf (one inconclusive run thus far).

Lion Ring
Five-time Polytrack sprint winner; 0-14 on turf and 0-13 over 7f+, though didn't fail for stamina at Catterick latest when the gaps refused to appear (7f, good); place claims with a fairer rub of the green.

Voltaic
He's below his last winning mark and this course winner returned to form with a creditable third over 1m here yesterday, when sent for home a long way out; not ruled out now back down to 7f.

Bear To Dream
This month's near-3l seventh over 6f represented only the second time in 11 handicap starts at Brighton that she's failed to make at least the first four (has won three), but she hit the line strongly after zero luck in the run; 3lb below her last winning mark and her turn may be near.

Invincible Navy
0-14 and still operating below his autumn 2023 peak form, faring no better for reverting to front-running here latest (1m).

Balmy Breese
It remains to be seen what he is capable of on turf after just two novice events and a heavy-ground 1m handicap, all in 2023 (well held in each); trail has gone cold since an okay winter on Tapeta, however.

Lilkian
All-the-way winner in a first-time eyeshield at Chelmsford last month (7f) but diminishing returns over this trip in the same headgear (now discarded) since; untried over this far on turf since July 2019 (stays 6f on it).
