Impressor
Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain.

From the connections
“In the middle of the summer Impressor had a couple of near misses, he nudged up a couple of pounds and then had a couple of poor efforts. We thought maybe his chance was gone, but he does like the ground and still seems quite well in himself - Phillip Makin, trainer, speaking to Racing TV.”
“Impressor is an in-form horse at the moment and Phil's horses are flying. This lad loves the ground. Before when he used to get caught on a wing like that he wouldn't really battle hard for you but he's turned a corner and he dug deep when needed - Shane Gray, jockey, speaking on Racing TV.”
“Impressor has got loads of speed and I wouldn't be rushing to go over seven furlongs with him. He's in the Mill Reef at Newbury and that's a likely type of race to run him in - Marcus Tregoning, trainer.”
