Kit's Coty (M)
Hit and miss performer justified support to make a winning reappearance over C&D in October following a breathing operation. Not in same form either start since (well held fourth here 71 days ago) but often goes well after a break. Could b…

Isn't one for maximum faith but turned in his best effort of the season when second in 9-runner C&D handicap last month. Claims if in similar form.

Split a pair of next-time-out winners on reappearance this season but has gone the wrong way since, for all his latest start can be forgiven. Should make a chaser (dam won a point) and he returns from a break with his yard in good form.

Haut Folin (G)

Best effort for a while when third over C&D last month and while yard in better form now, his overall record (pulled up in 5 of previous 6 starts, including latest 6 days ago) tempers enthusiasm.

Landed 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford for second year in succession earlier this month. Will need to defy a career-high mark to make it a double (as he did last year) but he is fairly reliable for one in this grade.

Yes And Yes (G)
Backed up Chepstow success with a couple of creditable efforts in the spring but his form has gone the wrong way since and he hasn't stood much racing for one his age.

Winless since early 2024 but has run creditably around 2½m this season and should appreciate the return to 3m. Not handicapped out of this.

Temperamental veteran who is winless since 2020 and remains easy to oppose.
