Comment: Has run some good races this year and he made all under Mason Paetel when back up in trip at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month; the third and fourth have both won since and he's firmly in calculations up just 3lb.

Comment: Very close fourth on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in May and again ran well when filling the same position at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this lightly raced 4yo can give another good account and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will eke out something extra.

Comment: Won off 1lb higher at Windsor last September and close third there on latest outing, both on good to firm; not far away if this first taste of Epsom proves okay.

Comment: Close up in all three of her 1m2f handicaps (on AW and good to firm) but appearing at about 1m4f on two of her last three outings has not seen her in such a good light.

Comment: Gelded, blinkered and switched to turf when proving vastly more competitive on classified debut at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, no match for the winner but beating the other five; connections turn to 7lb claimer; not dismissed.

Comment: All four wins (37 starts in total) have been on AW, the latest last September off 1lb lower than today; usually held up and did not show on last month's reappearance; has had only five turf races, showing some ability but there seem to be more solid options elsewhere.

Comment: Below par on last two starts but went very close on reappearance at Kempton in April and this C&D winner ran really well on the two previous occasions he has tried first-time headgear (cheekpieces/hood), so the new blinkers are an interesting angle this evening; runs off last winning mark.
