Silver Samurai
Last run in Class 4 company resulted in a win at Newmarket (2023); 0-12 on AW but his best RPR on it was achieved when runner-up over C&D in January 2024; can play a part if it sets up for the closers; wears this headgear combination for the first time.

Hieronymus
All five wins here (7f/1m), most recent came at the main expense of Tiger Crusade; not nearly as effective last time but is the type to bounce back, particularly if getting his own way in front (there isn't loads of pace on paper).

Farasi Lane
Two wins and a short-head second from six visits here; went agonisingly close in the Lincoln trial at Wolverhampton in March; uncompetitive since and 1m is probably his best trip; drawn wider than ideal.

Racingbreaks Ryder
Threatening another win before easing to 4l success at Catterick in October; second go on AW 44 days ago can be excused (came off a break and was left poorly placed) but a disappointing first attempt came during a good spell on turf.

Nibras Angel
Quite highly tried after winning her first two starts for Ismail Mohammed; did best of the hold-up horses when making the frame on stable debut over C&D last month (off 189-day break) but might again get going too late if she's dropped in from the widest stall; tongue-tie returns.

Habrdi
Starting out for fourth different trainer when failing to beat a rival at Doncaster in March; hopes pinned on him returning to AW (he's 2-4 on artificial surfaces); rail draw.

Pitney
Doubled his tally for Hugo Palmer last time out but was quickly sold for 8,000gns; do well to land a race as competitive as this off a 249-day break.

9/1 |
Follow Your Heart
Won twice already this year, beating Hieronymus over C&D in February and Pressure's On at Wolverhampton in March; doesn't really like grass so his seventh at Haydock 11 days ago isn't worth dwelling on.

- Tiger Crusade
- Callum Shepherd / D M Simcock

|
12/1 |
Tiger Crusade
This hold-up performer had no real hope of taking a hand in the finish given how things panned out here the last twice; has won just once in getting on for two years so can probably be opposed.

Newsreader
Three wins over C&D last year; not nearly as effective elsewhere the last twice but wasn't seen to best effect (came from further back than ideal) last time; perhaps best watched returning from a break with 7lb claimer up.

- Hector Crouch / E A L Dunlop

9/2 |
Pressure's On
Picked up where he left off last year, and possibly should have picked Follow Your Heart up, at Wolverhampton in March; raced keenly but was still bang there over a furlong out in the Spring Mile last time before weakening; fancied to build on earlier promise this evening; Hector Crouch is 1-1 on him.

Bishop's Crown
Started his career running over 7f/1m but has done his winning over 6f on turf; disappointing favourite on his return to action last month and let down his supporters again 20 days ago (both AW).

Al Ameen
Won decisively over C&D in March and April and shaped as if still in form when running on into fifth, having been drawn widest, over 6f here last time; good bit more to do off his revised mark (5lb higher than last time), though.

Wobwobwob
Backed into favouritism on his return to action over C&D a fortnight ago but shaped as if needing the run; not sure to leave that effort behind, though, given the rest of his AW form; drawn wide; goes without headgear.
