Global Skies
Sole win over 6f in 2023; he stays further but others are likely to see the trip out better even if he's ready to go after being off since an ordinary hurdle run last August.

Dutch Decoy
Smart 1m handicapper on his day and well handicapped, too, off 10lb lower than when second of 16 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood last summer; not yet back to best in 2025 but this is more realistic than last two runs.

Duke's Command
Marvellous pedigree, out of sister to three Group 1 winners; runner-up in AW events at 1m and about 1m1f (in cheekpieces) for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo but unraced in 2024 and sold for 31,000gns in January; has been gelded; intriguing on handicap debut for new yard; market must guide.

Cheshire Dancer
Never involved in a higher grade on Chester comeback (extended 7f) this month but this greater test is sure to suit, having won (on AW) and run well in competitive 1m turf handicaps in 2024; thereabouts.

Midnight's Dream
Strike-rate of 2-4 in handicaps this year and the manner of his second one, over C&D (good to firm) in April, suggests he has further scope back on turf, things never playing out well for him in a big field at Chelmsford last month; in the thick of it.

Encourageable
Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims.

Jodhpur Blue
Ran in novice and maiden events at 7f and 6f for Charles Hills, winning on Newcastle AW on final start for him; had stamina to prove over 1m for new yard on Polytrack 11 days ago and he didn't run well; best watched.

Shaladar
Hard to place these days but he ran well in two races for amateur jockeys (for women and men) at Ascot last year; twice involved in tight finishes here and with promising Jack Callan claiming 7lb he could easily go well.

Most Wanted
Placed in Irish maidens in 2022 and 2023 but seen only three times since, twice over hurdles and back on the Flat at Windsor recently, not showing enough to look on him as a win contender just yet.
