Perfectly Timed
Proved suited by the step up to 1m4f at Thirsk (good to firm) seven weeks ago, taking record since wearing blinkers to 2-3 and overall score to 3-8; may improve further; warrants respect.

Knightswood
Ran as if something was amiss last time; in good form otherwise this term and looks capable of being involved; however, he's still seeking a first handicap success away from Ripon.

Lady La Fay
Out of the frame on AW last time; generally consistent on turf otherwise and holds solid claims returned to this sphere, especially if the ground is soft (gained sole win on that surface).

Two from two since having wind surgery, winning at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.5f, good to firm); remains favourably treated on historical data and could well complete the hat-trick.

Kitsune Power
Went close at Thirsk on reappearance; however, has failed to back up that effort in two subsequent outings and still has a poor strike-rate since 2022; not the percentage call.

Clansman
Continues to edge down the weights and is now 4lb below last winning mark, with Cian Horgan taking off a bonus 5lb; interesting if back on ideal ground (all wins on soft/heavy).
