Marioento
Perhaps hasn't quite lived up to the promise of an AW win and a good turf run (1m2f, good to soft) in the spring but he's been running well in defeat and was caught out only by a well-treated one over C&D (good; tongue-tied added) last week; solid chance.

Cogital
Multiple winner at 1m4f to 2m on the AW and turf but he hasn't beaten a rival in three AW starts since returning from an absence in December; can only watch now back on turf.

Fiddlers Green
All three wins at about 1m4f on AW and turf (good and soft) last spring but he hasn't been in comparable form since back from a break in the autumn and was reported to be lame on latest start in April; he was only 7-2 that day, though, so a revival was clearly expected; market helpful.

Harlington
Both wins on AW towards the end of 2024, one over 1m4f; consistent through the winter and recent turf runs have come behind winners who were ahead of their marks; cheekpieces haven't done much for him in the past, though.

Sneaky Blinder
Wind surgery seems to have helped as he won back-to-back AW races (1m3f and 1m4f) in January; two respectable efforts on turf and AW last month following a hurdle unseat and he ought to be competitive here.

Red Derek
Both wins at 1m2f but he's run several good races at 1m6f; soundly beaten on Tapeta when last seen in December but he returned from nearly a year off with a good effort at Leicester (1m2f, heavy) in October so it wouldn't surprise to see him go well today.

Offiah's Boy
Modest hurdle form through the winter but he had shown AW promise for previous yard and he lost out close home back on turf at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; the quickish return didn't work out at Windsor since but he may do better with a longer break this time.

Innisfree Pearl
Signs of inexperience when first handicapping but hinted at better to come when third at Windsor (1m3f) in August and stamina saw her through when winning at Brighton (1m4f; also on soft) next time; ran as though the AW run was needed in April but the stiff track and conditions will suit.

Adrian
A Group 3 winner in Germany in his prime but he's very lightly raced these days and although there were signs of life at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last July he hasn't done very well in just two starts since.

Ladypacksapunch
Running well enough to think she can be involved to some extent but her convincing Bath win at about 1m3f in August came on firm ground and she has more to prove with the recent rain.

Sievier
Modest form in all four starts but her handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m2f) in August came on heavy ground; not necessarily a middle-distance runner on pedigree but time is still on her side.
