Had wind and gelding operations since last appearance; has never won away from Musselburgh but is quite interesting on seasonal debut, having won easily (off 4lb lower) on reappearance last term.
Similar type to Finn's Charm, having made a winning reappearance (in valuable event at Doha for the Gosden yard) last year; possibilities on seasonal debut and third start for new stable.
Record at Chester includes a success in 2022 and respectable third (off 3lb higher from wide draw) in this contest last year; solid second at Newmarket on reappearance; not ruled out.
Has form figures of 431 in this race, winning readily off 3lb lower 12 months ago; has posted a couple of duck eggs this season but a revival looks highly possible returned to Chester; not ruled out.
Useful maiden who is well treated on a few pieces of Group form; respectable sixth in the Spring Cup on reappearance and may step forward with that outing under his belt; first win looks plausible.
Has an impressive strike-rate (7-9) in the month of May, including three wins at Chester; however, the two defeats came in this contest in 2022 and 2023, finishing fifth both times.
Last-time-out success at Chelmsford (7f, AW) shows he retains a useful level of ability aged 11; still well treated on historical data but his turf form took a turn for the worse in 2023.
Scored over C&D in 2022; two from two this term, winning at Doncaster (made most) and Musselburgh (made all); better than ever and warrants respect despite being on career-high mark.
Successful three times at Chester, including in 3yo handicap at this meeting in 2021; has a question mark over current form but the return to this venue may prompt a resurgent display.
Capable of fairly useful form on AW; soft ground was a possible excuse returned to turf last time but he still has something to prove in this sphere; headgear enlisted.
Three-time winner at Chester in the summer months; something was possibly amiss (eased) at Ripon on stable/seasonal debut; very well handicapped on peak form but losing run is mounting up.
Successful in three Class 5 events last season; however, has something to prove in this much higher grade on reappearance and there is no evidence that she goes well fresh.
Holding his form well during a busy year, creditable second at Brighton (1m) most recently; upped sharply in class but could go well off bottom weight, with leading Chester rider Franny Norton on board.
