Persuasion
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) last month; this 8yo couldn't get into it off this revised mark at Chester last week, but he's effective here (third in this in 2023 on good) and is not ruled out.

Dark Tornado
Glimpses of considerable promise during light campaigns in 2023 and 2024, and this lightly raced 4yo won a maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last Saturday on his second stable start; however, he now goes handicapping off a lofty mark and will need a bigger performance today.

Sterling Knight
Faded into 3l fourth over 1m here (good) a fortnight ago, having looked a major threat 1f out; the drop back in trip could be ideal and he's respected off the same mark.

Waleefy
Disappointing favourite at Goodwood on reappearance but perhaps the track and the drop back to 6f were against him; progressive in handicaps last season and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer for a top trainer who has won two of the last four runnings of this race.

Vicario
Down the field in Listed races on final two outings last season but progressive in handicaps previously and she reappears with her yard going well; could get back on track with a good performance.

Promising fourth of 19 on stable/seasonal debut at Doncaster (6f, good) in March and bounced back from lesser run here to finish second over this C&D (good) a fortnight ago; could be bang there once more.

Harvard Sound
2-2 on turf having won maiden/novice races at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last summer; good third on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in October; two lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game, but perhaps the return to turf and first-time cheekpieces will help

Madame De Sevigne
Well beaten on reappearance at Doncaster in May but may have needed the run; won twice during a progressive campaign last season (good to firm/good to soft; including C&D) and she's not written off.

Leadman
Yet to cross the line in front (last August's win came when promoted due to a technicality) but this lightly raced 5yo is very consistent and finished second on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); there's every chance he'll again be thereabouts.
