Lord Danielson goes without a penalty for his Thursday win and Fai Fai (second choice) excelled himself from out of the weights at Lingfield after Christmas but CUT TO THE CHASE may have found the race coming too soon when turned over at Newcastle last time and is better judged on his previous win there. Nordic Glory can't be ruled out, either.[Emily Weber]

Two 6f wins in 2024, on AW and turf; never involved on first run back from wind surgery but he ran a stormer from 12lb wrong at Lingfield after Christmas; inevitably his mark has suffered and he's 7lb higher than his penultimate run but this is quite a drop in grade; considered despite the wide draw.
Multiple Polytrack winner who's remained in form since his latest win, on turf in August; made bold bid at Lingfield recently on return from a break and as solid as any to run his race and be involved.
Promise in novices last winter but not making much headway in handicaps of late despite slipping in the weights and was beaten before the 7f trip became an issue on latest; hooded last twice, now visored.
Had double-figure draw on last two starts, overcoming it when making all at Lingfield (6f) but unable to hang on to his lead over C&D 23 days ago; not had much luck on that front today either.
In the frame more often than not for previous yard but she's beaten a total of three rivals in as many runs for new yard, at 6f and 7f; makes limited appeal with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.
Quite strong at the finish when winning on first attempt in a 6f handicap, at Newcastle in December, and perhaps the race just came too soon when unable to pick up in the closing stages there five days later; acts on Polytrack and no surprise to see better again this time.
C&D win last January was the first of four wins in 2024; seems to have gone off the boil since the latest of them in August, though, and he was down the field at Southwell last week.
Suited by this track, reeled in late over 7f last February and then off the mark over C&D on Thursday when finding a bit more than had looked likely; that was only his third run in a 6f handicap so could do better yet; good claims with no penalty.
Infrequent winner for previous yard, the most recent in a 6f classified at Newcastle last February; creditable debut for this trainer at Southwell (6f) last week and should come on for the run; capable of having a say; eyeshield added.
