Emperor Caradoc
Out of form on AW this year (7f-1m2f) and also struggled (albeit on heavy ground) when back on turf this month (7f); reverts to sprinting (first run shy of 6f) with cheekpieces fitted and has considerably more to prove than some.

Phoenix Star
Dual 5f Tapeta winner at Newcastle this year; on a fairly tough mark now but is evidently in good nick and can handle this switch back to slow turf; respected.

Ballyare
Well below best during the AW season but made a quite encouraging return to turf when keeping-on fourth at Doncaster (5f, heavy) last month and is now 9lb lower than when scoring over C&D last season.

Danzart
Enjoyed a revival and won three in a row last spring (6f-7f) but had gone off the boil by the summer and both runs this spring have been underwhelming; needs to get back in the groove.

Special Mayson
Made the frame on four of his five appearances last season, most notably when going very close at Newmarket (6f, good to firm), and he made a satisfactory reappearance this month; has never run over a trip short of 6f but is versatile regarding ground; one to consider.

Rwenearlytheredad
Won over 5f, 6f and 7f on good to firm/good ground last summer and could plausibly have more improvement to come this year, but he has twice been safely held on slow ground in recent weeks and the going is again a concern.

Came good with 5f novice win at Musselburgh (good to soft) in September but did not make any further progress in handicaps and returns from 110-day break with some questions to answer.

Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when respectable fifth at Newcastle (5f, AW) in October but basically became very disappointing during second half of last season; recent wind op needs to have made a difference.

On the downgrade now but made the frame in two 6f AW handicaps at Newcastle last month and has placed form on soft; considered each-way.

Dandy Spirit
Safely held in two 6f Thirsk handicaps this month but he surged back to form to win this race in refitted blinkers in 2023 (good to soft) and followed up off mark 9lb higher than today's at Nottingham (6f, heavy); has the headgear back on today; interesting.
