The lightly raced 4yo SAVVY KINGDOM is taken to build on his reappearance effort and win for a second time. Live Aid has run well here and arrives on the back of a win so looks a big player from a fair opening mark. Mr Mistoffelees needs to raise his game to score but both he and Westernesse are other likely contenders.[Jonathan Doidge]

C&D winner who also scored over 1m on turf last summer; is back on a competitive mark now and, if straighter for his reappearance effort, he has some each-way potential.
Was all out to win over over C&D on his penultimate start; well beaten at Chelmsford latest (1m, Polytrack); should be better suited by this return to a stiffer mile.
Made all when a 7f novice winner at Kempton (Polytrack) in August 2023; gelded after one more start; put up an eyecatching reappearance from a 577-day absence when running into third place at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; player if able to reproduce or better that.
Sole win came in a Kempton novice event (1m, Polytrack); has put in several creditable efforts in defeat for this trainer, including when second here (1m2f) in March on his penultimate start; each-way player.
Broke his duck at the third attempt in this code in a Southwell maiden (1m, Tapeta) latest; going the right way and showed up well over C&D on his penultimate start; initial mark keeps the door open for another big effort.
6f course winner who has three 1m turf wins to his name; was entitled to need his reappearance at Southwell; drops 2lb to what is a competitive mark again and not written off.
C&D winner last spring, when 16lb higher; best effort this year was back over C&D in March, when third, so if he is to arrest the slump it could more likely be at this venue that others.
Four time C&D winner who rarely runs a bad race here; however, even with his love for the place, this looks a tough enough assignment and he appears to have place claims at best from this mark.
