Mr Freedom (G)
[P]
Course winner in June 2024. Lightly raced since but he resumed from 13 months off with an encouraging third of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (1¾m) 29 days ago, staying on late having suffered a poor run over 3f out. Not without interest.

Aggagio (G)
A 5-time course winner, including in this event back in 2022. Not disgraced when returning with fifth of 7 in handicap here (2m) last month so he's not out of things off a 2 lb lower mark.

Premiere Ligne (G)
[T]
Progressive staying handicapper in 2024. Having his first run for 20 months when ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (2m) 16 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Cruden (G)

[P]
On a losing run but he comes here in good nick, not enjoying a clear passage from over 3f out when fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (1¾m) 29 days ago. In the picture.

Maasai Mara (G)
[B]
Unreliable individual but he ran one of his better races when second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (1½m) 14 days ago. Needs to back it up.

Selenic (F)
[P]
Doubled her tally at Newcastle (1¼m) in January and in good form after until only eighth (when front-running tactics were adopted) in 2m Kempton handicap 16 days ago. The sort to bounce back.

Expressionless (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways at Leicester (1½m) in April and posted a good third of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (1¼m) 28 days ago. Enters calculations.

Appier (G)
Scored at Wolverhampton in January but he's an unreliable sort and beat just one in 2m handicap here last month on his final run for Richard Bandey. Needs yard switch to spark a resurgence.
