Comment: Out of a useful 1m 2yo winner; race a bit too freely but still made very pleasing debut when keeping-on second of ten at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal here.

Comment: Second at Kempton (1m4f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last October on third run for the Gosdens and sold for 30,000gns that month; both runs this season were C&D, fairly encouraging on first occasion but never dangerous behind King's Scholar on latest; unraced on softer than good; cheekpieces return.

Comment: Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times, and opened hurdling account in May; ran creditably over hurdles two weeks ago but he's unproven on ground softer than good.

Comment: Continues to edge down the weights and is 4lb below last winning mark; interesting if back on ideal ground, all wins having been on soft or heavy.

Comment: 10yo who has won 11 times at Ayr, including from the front on last three starts, but latest of his three races at Hamilton (soundly beaten on last two occasions) was in 2022; placed on soft ground but has never won on it.

33/1

Comment: 6yo who is 0-10 (0-8 on Flat); close second of four when upped to 1m7f at Ayr four runs ago but not so good since; never dangerous at York Friday (1m2f); others have far more pressing claims, including on softer than good.

Comment: Five of ten wins have come over 1m2f at Beverley; last four wins have come on heavy and soft, three of them last year when wearing cheekpieces; they've been absent this year and, although she was a close second at Beverly last time, perhaps she'll be of more interest when they are refitted.

Simple Star

Jockey: William Pyle Trainer: Dianne Sayer Age/Wt: 7/9-4 F: 038-04 OR: 71

Comment: His last Flat win was in August 2023 but he did score over hurdles last July; fourth of 13 at Musselburgh this April puts him on the premises and he's fit from hurdling since; unraced on worse than good to soft.
