Fast Affair could be interesting at likely odds and an improved show from Ricardo Phillips and Toni's Legacy (second choice) would not be a surprise. However, GALACTIC GLOW, is highly likely to run his race and can land a fourth C&D success.[Richard Russell]

All five wins over this trip, four of them at Ffos Las including two last year; couple of respectable efforts here but he can take a few runs to get going after a break; market helpful on this first start for 218 days.
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration.
Her two wins for James Fanshawe came around 1m1f in cheekpieces on AW, most recently last June; sold 16,000gns the following month and she got tired on her stable debut at Chepstow (1m4f, good) one week ago; that was her first run for a year, however, and the drop in trip and returning cheekpieces are interesting.
Consistent mare despite being a regular slow-starter; running respectably at Wolverhampton over 9.5f this year, winning twice, and it was another solid effort when fourth there on Tuesday; effective here too and likely runs her race again.
Eight-race maiden who's been poor the last twice, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (1m) when coming back from a 241-day break; now tried in a visor and has plenty to prove.
Tailed off in two starts last year (1m4f) but her reappearance fifth of eight here (1m, good to firm) was much more like it; plenty of stamina in the family and now steps up in trip in added cheekpieces for her handicap debut; probable contender.
All eight of his wins have been at this track, including two at this trip and he was fourth in this race last year; has dropped below last winning mark but he could never get in a blow over 1m3.5f at this track (firm) last time; still respected.
Struggled in his first two handicaps (turf) last year but it wasn't a bad effort in a maiden (9.5f) two starts back and he built on that when returned to this sphere, beaten 2l at Southwell (1m4f, also AW) in December; something to prove back on this surface after 168 days away but he's not fully exposed and his yard has already matched last year's tally.
3-48 and can race freely; narrowly beaten over C&D last July but she stopped quickly in a first-time visor at Lingfield (7f) 74 days ago; not the percentage call.
Won three over C&D in the summer of 2023; third in an amateur riders' race on his return to the Flat one month ago and he built on that when second (also C&D, firm; fourth's won since) a fortnight ago; versatile ground-wise and looks a key player.
