With the form of his latest C&D effort working out well, WILDE AND DANDY is preferred even though he's stepping up in class. Legal Reform (second choice) is a solid danger, while Ziggy's Condor, Tiger Crusade and Diamondonthehill are also in the mix.[Steve Boow]

Regained the winning thread at Wolverhampton (6f) last time, taking AW record to 5-25; still looks favourably treated on historical data, including over 7f; likely to remain competitive.
Record of 4-14 on AW, the most recent win in Kempton Class 4 last August; out of the money in better races this winter and should benefit from this drop back in grade; new headgear.
Five turf wins; belied his 66-1 odds with third-place finish at Wolverhampton last time, seeming to produce easily his best AW effort; thereabouts provided that form is backed up.
Losing spell goes back to 2022 and he's only 1-15 on AW; absent since last June; not the percentage call, unless the market suggests a big effort is on the cards.
Back in better form since switched to AW, making the frame over C&D most recently; 0-10 since debut success but there are clear signs that he can win a race in this sphere; shortlisted.
Record of 5-17 on AW features three wins over C&D, the most recent on penultimate start; ran well here latest, beating all bar an unexposed sort; 2-2 under Richard Kingscote; solid claims.
All wins over 6f, including four races at Southwell; has a record of 0-18 at 7f but went very close over C&D on penultimate start; that effort puts him in the picture.
Starts his 2025 campaign on last winning mark, so looks competitively weighted; however, nearly all of his AW form is at Newcastle; bit to prove back at Southwell.
Record of 3-13 on AW; has form figures of 13132 since returned to this sphere, most recently running well in a C&D event that has worked out nicely; now upped in class but runs off a low weight; commands respect off unaltered mark.
