Up 2f with first-time headgear on this handicap debut and she has to be in calculations

Solid record handicapping, albeit without a win this season; 1m6f is worth a go

Won at Newmarket on latest outing and went close on his only start here; firmly in the mix

Front-runner; two wins this term; not sure to get 1m6f but needs a second look
1 (3)	Pergamon ch Alfie Redman(5) · Jennie Candlish	Alfie Redman(5) · Jennie Candlish	142	tp	21-883	73	78	24	48d	—	—	+1	7.8	11/1 8%

He's now on his lowest mark since 2022 and should be of renewed interest in the autumn
4 (2)	Two Auld Pals b Ethan Tindall(3) · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	Ethan Tindall(3) · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	139	—	883146	70	76	55	34d	—	—	+7	12.3	16/1 6%
Not the most consistent but one win this term and maybe some recent rain will help

14-1 when remote on handicap debut over 2m (good to firm); connections turn to cheekpieces
