Kingston Sunflower (M)
Has a fine strike-rate for current yard, including landing back-to-back handicaps around 2m at Ludlow/Huntingdon last autumn. Freshened since a below-par third at Ludlow in December.

Bluegrass (G)
[PT]
Hit and miss since returning from a break to win at Southwell (2m, good to firm) last October, running one of his lesser races when always behind at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) 18 days ago.

Forget The Way (G)
[PT]
Won 6 runner selling handicap at Huntingdon (good to soft) in November. Respectable fifth of 8 back there 11 days later. Freshened up since.

Unjeu Royal (G)
Showed improved form to make a winning start to his handicap career at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) 44 days ago. The front 2 were clear so a 5 lb rise doesn't look too severe. Should go well again.

High Fibre (G)
FAV
[PT]
First handicap success at Kempton (2m, good) in March. Went close off the same mark at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) a week later but not so good when fifth of 12 over a longer trip at Plumpton (21f) 6 weeks ago. Quickly returns to 2m.

Brendas Asking (M)
Stood out on form and made the most of a good opportunity in 6-runner novice at Ludlow (2m) in April 2025. Off for 12 months after but looked as good as ever when third of 7 on 2m Haydock return (good to soft) 35 days ago.

Mojito Des Mottes (G)
[T]
Winner on hurdling debut in France. Left his first 3 runs for Ben Pauling behind when neck second on 2m Ascot handicap debut (good) in March, closing all the way to the line and looking unlucky not to win. Leading claims under Cobden.

Scintillante (G)
In top form at Worcester last summer, winning twice and runner-up 3 times. Well held back from a break at Haydock 5 weeks ago but ought to be sharper now.

Chief Sunday (G)
[P]
Won his first 2 handicaps but has found things harder since, faring no better for the addition of cheekpieces at Stratford last time. Tumbling in the weights but need to see more.
