C&D winner on long losing run. Hasn't revived in 2 starts this season on the back of a breathing operation. Has first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces and others are more persuasive.

Won over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in December. In and out since and doesn't look particularly well treated on his belated return to turf.

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Shaped as if needing run at Kempton (1m) in April. Is on a career low mark and needs the first-time cheekpieces to work.

Failed to make much impact in 6 starts for Alice Haynes. Has headgear and tongue strap discarded but has plenty to prove on first run for new yard.

Winless from 9 starts though made the frame over C&D 15 days ago. Proving consistent rather than progressive at present.

Standout effort on his second outing when third of 11 in a 7f Kempton novice last March. Seems a fragile sort though and has been well held every start since sent handicapping. Gets the cheekpieces added here and is hard to make a case for.
Typeface

Won twice at Ffos Las last summer. Better for run when sixth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good, 9/4) on return 12 days ago. Has the tongue strap back on and is one to take seriously back up in trip.
Suitcase Smith

- T: John Berry

Modest form from 4 starts last year. Well held both starts this season. Very hard to make a case for.
Merapi

- 59
Maiden who's been runner-up on last 3 starts, latest at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces and is expected to go close again back down in trip.
Timeform Verdict
A race lacking in depth and TYPEFACE appeals most ahead of Merapi. The class-dropping King of Charm can also make the frame.
Betting Forecast
16/1 Siam Fox (Ire), 7/1 Charlatan (Ire), 15/2 King Of Charm, 40/1 Kitty's Dream (Ire), 6/1 El Fox, 50/1 Regal Guest (Ire), 9/2 Typeface, 25/1 Suitcase Smith, 85/40 Merapi
