Comment: Late foal, by Kodiac; 50-1 for six-runner novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but came from towards the rear to bustle up the winner; after that bright start, with today's form rival Regal Agenda 5l back in fourth, and the third and first fighting it out at Sandown on Friday, this 4yo looks the one to beat.

Comment: 12-1, never-dangerous sixth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in November but she kept on well; there's lots to like in her pedigree and it will be disappointing if she can't leave that form behind her this term.

Comment: From a good family that has served her owner well; second at Yarmouth (1m, soft) in October makes her one of the top two on form in this line-up, but the other one is Clermont Ferrand who beat her by 5l back at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; made most that day; needs to bounce back.

Comment: His handicap mark had dropped from 106 to 50 before he was finally able to add to his debut win (June 2020; beaten 40 times in between) at Nottingham last May; went on to complete a four-timer, including C&D, and also went close at Pontefract off this mark last October; should be sharper with his recent reappearance behind him; not discounted.

Comment: Not much in it as to whether he's better at 7f or 1m but he won quite readily over this trip at Haydock (good) last July; went off the boil later but he's 8lb below that winning mark and his 6f return was mildly encouraging; more interesting than most.
