His first three wins were on AW but the latest was with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (7f, good) when last seen 267 days ago; 7lb higher mark demands another personal best.

Secret Guest
Spent most of 2024 contesting strong handicaps and he rarely failed to give his running; should be sharper with a recent Newcastle run behind him (caught in the middle of the track) and he has run well over C&D in the past; one to be interested in back down into a Class 4.

He's had a good winter at Newcastle, winning three times, and latest Lingfield disappointment doesn't take much forgiving; no reason why he wouldn't be equally effective on turf and he's not ruled out.

Ended a barren spell in a small-field 6f handicap at Redcar last August; ran well off this mark over C&D three weeks later; can go well fresh and he's one to consider.

Kings Merchant
Big improver on turf last summer, winning three handicaps, two of them over C&D; couldn't live up to market billing on his return to action in March but he was drawn wide over 5f; much better expected back under these conditions.

Second run for new yard was better than his first, beaten under 2l in a 13-runner Class 3 at Newcastle last month; more will be needed to win but he's got handicapping scope if you go back far enough.

Imperial Guard
Had some strong handicap form for Andrew Balding last summer; sold for 67,000gns in October and gelded; the combination of 7f and returning from 190 days off may have contributed to his weak finish at Doncaster on his stable debut five weeks ago; better expected back at 6f.

Infrequent winner; often flattered to deceive last year and he has been well beaten at 33-1 in two 7f handicaps this time around; should be well treated back at 6f but he's not alone in that regard.

Low-key stable debut at Catterick ten days ago (6f, good to firm; 50-1); will be of more interest back at 5f.

C&D winner; back to his last winning mark and both runs this spring suggest he retains ability; yard amongst the winners and better expected from him soon.

Won a 6f handicap at Pontefract off this mark last July; yet to shine in 2025 and others bring more pressing claims.
