Ziggy's Condor (G)
[V]
Has placed in three of last four starts on AW. Made the running and was just mugged late when beaten a neck in 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (4/1) 23 days ago. Should continue to give a good account though doesn't win very often.

Brakeman (G)
[T]
Second over C&D two starts back then fourth of 5 in novice at Wolverhampton (5/4) 70 days ago. Making handicap debut back up in trip which should suit.

King Of Bears (G)
[B1]
Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (12/1) 44 days ago after trainer change, racing far side. First-time blinkers may help concentration.

Northcliff (G)

Study Up (G)
[H]
Won on debut but hasn't won in 3 subsequent runs, finishing third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (9/2) 205 days ago when slow to start and running on late. First run for new trainer. May appreciate return to all-weather.

Sensorium (G)
[T]
Won authoritatively at Chelmsford 53 days ago but finished seventh of 11 in handicap (13/2) 19 days ago when caught wide from a bad draw. Form on all-weather looks better than turf.

State Of Madness (G)
FAV
Has flourished for current yard with three wins and a narrow second from four starts, winning first of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (11/4) 13 days ago. Clearly a different proposition for this stable.

Mumayaz (G)

Recently joined a new yard with promising form since the move. Won 11-runner handicap at Southwell (3/1 favourite) in first-time visor 17 days ago, beating Vince Lombardi by 1 length. Should remain competitive at a course and distance wher…

Havana Sky (G)
[V]
Successful AW performer with 7 wins from 20 starts, including 3 C&D victories. Finished second of 12 in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (9/2) 9 days ago, looking set to win but edged out late on. Drop back to 6f looks ideal as all wins have c…

Brave Empire (G)
[P]
Winless in 12 starts since February 2024, most recently finishing 5th of 9 at Newcastle (15/2) over 5f in first-time cheekpieces 10 days ago. Whether he can build on that improved effort back up in trip remains to be seen.
