8st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner at about 2m on soft ground; pulled up on his final run over hurdles but that was a Grade 2 novice and he had previously chased home the classy Dysart Enos at Doncaster; has won off this mark and that was without a claimer riding. |

Fit from hurdling when beaten over 12l by Clansman on his return to the Flat over 1m6f here nine days ago; meets the winner on 11lb better terms so not out of it.

18th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four Flat wins (1m4f/1m7f) in France in 2022; last of eight at Ascot (2m) last May on his only Flat start in Britain and while he's had three minor honours from six starts over hurdles, he was remote six weeks ago when last seen in that sphere; others look more solid. |

7th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran his best race in this sphere when third of 12 in 2m3f Taunton handicap 16 days ago; he was a fair 1m7f winner on the Flat in France so needs considering off an unchanged mark. |

OR: 81
Confirmed mudlark; has scored wide-margin wins in heavy-ground handicaps at Thirsk (1m4f) and over 1m6f here already this month; went up 11lb for those runs, but sound effort off new mark in his second race in three days when runner-up off 1lb lower at Nottingham (2m, heavy) last Saturday; has had a busy spell but could go well again.

2nd 1 (6) |
20th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Underlined how well he goes in the mud with a 7l win at Thirsk (1m4f) last week and won by even further at Ripon (1m6f, heavy) on Thursday; effectively another 6lb higher if turned out again but it's offset by his rider's claim and he'll make a bold bid if coping with the quick turnaround. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
18th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent last year but won twice on soft (1m4f/1m7f) and he's started this season well, including with an impressive win at Thirsk (1m4f, heavy) nine days ago; huge chance to follow up under 5lb penalty. |

Consistent sort whose only win last season was over 2m on heavy ground at Haydock in August; runner-up on reappearance last two seasons; should go well.

Has won his last two races, at Redcar in September (1m6f, good) and at Chelmsford on reappearance last month (1m6f) when beating Clansman (10lb worse off) by 0.5l; has his first run on the Flat at 2m (was placed in three bumpers over 2m); could go well if handling the softer ground.

Well suited by give in the ground (last win was over 1m6f on soft at Haydock in September); stays 2m; fair reappearance run (second of three but odds-on favourite ran badly); a possible.

9st 3lb |
Exposed 8yo who was securing a sixth career success on his favoured soft ground at Haydock in September (1m6f, soft), a race he won three years earlier; has won after a break in the past and there's nothing wrong with his mark. |
4/1 |
