Night Breeze
Won three in a row last summer (11.4f/1m4f, good to soft-good to firm) and soft ground maybe didn't suit in September when last seen; the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus on his return but he's not ruled out.

Hamlet's Night
Soundly beaten on his stable and seasonal debut at Brighton (1m4f) a fortnight ago but he may have needed that run and he had some useful form at up to 9.5f in France; wears a first-time tongue-tie and could be more competitive today now back down in trip; watch the betting.

Azahara Palace
Won on reappearance at Leicester (1m, good to soft) last May and campaign concluded with two good placed efforts over 1m2f on soft; won on good to firm/good ground in 2023; could play a leading role on her return.

Afloat
Won at Yarmouth (11.4f, soft) last October for Rae Guest and caught the eye when sixth in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) on stable/seasonal debut at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when she travelled well but had to wait for a clear run; can build on that performance.

Dayzee
Made it 3-5 when winning at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June 2023; dropping down the weights but her AW form last winter was mixed and she needs to turn things around.

- Live Aid
- Zak Wheatley / D Carroll

|
|
20/1 |
Live Aid
Kept on for second in Newcastle maiden (1m, AW) in February on second stable start then went one better in Southwell maiden (1m, AW); this former bumper performer is bred to be suited by the step up in trip on handicap debut and could have a big say.

- Roland Garros
- K Shoemark / J & T Gosden
|
|
|
11/1 |
Roland Garros
Has run just twice since finishing fourth on debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last April and he's yet to build on that initial promise; however, he's in top hands and is bred to be better than his opening mark.

- Giselles Defence
- Marco Ghiani / Ian Williams

|
12/1 |
Giselles Defence
Three wins last May-July (1m2f, soft-good) and he's dropped back down the weights; it's possible he'll have benefited from a break but he needs to perform much better than was the case towards the end of last year.

|
14/1 |
Golspie
0-16 since winning on debut at Newbury in April 2023; however, he was runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month on his last two starts and could be thereabouts.

Solar Bentley
Won at Ffos Las (1m2f, heavy) last August and signed off with fair fifth of 14 at Redcar (1m2f, soft) in October; however, his best turf form has come on slow ground and it remains to be seen if conditions suit today.
