Comment: 0-11 when based in France and absent since finishing second in 9.5f AW handicap in November 2023; very tricky to weigh up before this British debut but the betting market is likely to provide some clues.

Comment: Landed a gamble at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March, his second start after rejoining Ian Williams, and has held his form pretty well since; swaps visor for first-time blinkers today; each-way claims at least.

Comment: Placed over hurdles this year and has posted three good efforts at Bath (1m2f, firm/good) since returned to the Flat last month; sometimes harms his chance by racing a bit too freely but is a likely contender here.

Comment: First foal; dam 10.5f-1m6f winner (including Listed; RPR 106), sister to 1m4f Listed winner Baby Pink, half-sister to smart 1m-1m3f winner Christophermarlowe; probably won't be seen to best effect until tackling longer trips but riding arrangements suggests she's the pick of Ollie Sangster's three runners in this.

Carefree Dream

Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: J S Moore Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 4

Comment: Bred to be a speedy 2yo but did not look straightforward and showed only minor promise when well-held fourth of seven here (5f, good to soft) nine days ago; needs to take a good step forward today.

Comment: Four-time AW winner, most recently at Chelmsford (7f) last month; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive but this will be just his second run in a sprint and his third run on turf; others look safer.
