Ancient Times
He'd been on a losing run but had become well treated and was suited by the return to Doncaster, where he was 1-2 over 5f, when winning there on Saturday; should be competitive despite the penalty.

Bang On The Bell
His losing sequence is mounting up since landing an AW double in February/March last year but he made the frame several times since; has dropped to a decent mark and cannot be ruled out.

Tiger Tulip
Sole success came in AW Wolverhampton maiden in October 2023; last of 12 on return at AW Kempton (6f; 50-1) 13 days ago and others preferred.

Torfrida
Lightly raced 5yo but ran her best race when beaten a neck on reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good) 20 days ago; nudged up 2lb but must go close if able to reproduce that effort.

Symbol of Hope
Seven of his eight wins have been at Bath; some respectable efforts since last win there last August but he now has this first run of this year and may be more potent when he returns to that venue.

Secret Handsheikh
Has ten wins but is still 2lb higher than for his last success at Brighton (5.5f, soft) last September; unplaced on his two AW starts this year and best watched for now.

Havechatma
All five of her wins have been on AW; won at Southwell (5f) in January and close third there last month; it remains to be seen if she can be as effective back on turf.

Harry Brown
Gained his just reward following a string of good efforts when landing his fourth AW success at Lingfield (6f) five days ago; shoulders a 5lb penalty and yet to win on turf.

Beauzon
Has had a turf win but most of his success has been on AW; below his best on last four starts and best watched for now.

Bama Lama
Landed her third Windsor win in October (5f, heavy) off 1lb lower mark; may have needed the run when last of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) 16 days ago and not out of this.

Big Time Rascal
0-11 and showing no signs that a win is imminent but he is now on a career-low mark back on turf.

9/4 |
Antiphon
Landed his third course win in this race last year off 15lb higher mark; out of sorts on AW this year but return to this course may spark a revival and last year's winning jockey Tom Marquand is back in the saddle; serious claims.

Some Nightmare
Landed his seventh success (fourth at Chepstow) in September off 2lb higher; handicapper has given him a chance but this 8yo ran poorly at AW Wolverhampton three weeks ago.
