Up The Jazz (G)
FAV
Last win came back in November 2024 but from his reduced mark he returned to form when third at Wolverhampton in March. Excuses next time, before looking the likely winner when second of 10 at Ripon 2 weeks ago. Can make his presence felt …

Super Hit (G)
[PT]
After 3 months off, shaped encouragingly on first run since leaving Darryll Holland when second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield 9 days ago. Yard does well with new recruits so he enters calculations.

Union Island (G)
Resumed winning ways in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield in February. Creditable fourth at Newcastle later that month but down the field last 2 starts, sweating up beforehand at Doncaster 2 weeks ago. Headgear now left off.

Tonal (G)
[P]
Proved a revelation during the all-weather campaign, winning 5 times with latest success at Chelmsford in March. Not discredited from 6 lb higher mark at Southwell last month. Task is to transfer that form back to turf (has much lower mark…

The Sweet Escape (G)
[T]
Capitalised on a falling mark when opening account with a determined success in 15-runner handicap at Nottingham in April. Wasn't in the same form back up in grade, though, when sixth of 10 at Ripon 2 weeks ago.

Yokkell (M)
Yet to win for current yard, but from her falling mark she caught the eye when never-nearer third of 14 in handicap at this course (1¼m) 2 weeks ago. Could be ready to get back to winning ways.

K T O'Neill | A Wintle | 7 | 59.9 kg |

Study Up (G)
[HT]
Free-going sort who is without a win since debut (when trained by Clive Cox). Attracted support but failed to capitalise on drop in grade when third of 9 in handicap at Bath 22 days ago.

Jonny Peate | D M Loughnane | 5 | 59.4 kg |

Star Start (G)
Back-to-back winner over 1¼m last summer and has been working his way back to form this season, running well when third of 9 at Pontefract (1m) 10 days ago. Is back down to last winning mark.

Mercurius Power (G)
[PT]
Seventeen runs since last win in 2024 but placed twice on all-weather early this year. Hasn't been in the same form the last twice, though did meet trouble in running when sixth of 11 at Newcastle on latest outing.

Sharma D'amour (F)
Sole success came on handicap debut but stepped forward from her reappearance run when second of 14 at Bath in April, despite having been left with too much to do. Not dismissed lightly from her current mark.
