Form & Verdict
Showed promise in sole AW attempt (debut); has form figures of 3113 since handicapping, the wins over sprint trips in July; ran creditably over a testing 7f on return from layoff; likely to be suited by this drop back to 6f and remains open to further improvement; was also declared for the Class 2 event on this card but soon scratched and runs in this lower grade instead; respected.

Began the year with a pair of impressive 5f handicap wins on AW (here and at Southwell) and he didn't have ideal track position when finishing in midfield in a Naas Listed event in April; too bad to be true at York last time; equally effective at 5f and 6f; remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Steadily back to form since joining the up-and-coming James Owen, most recently holding on narrowly at Wolverhampton (6f) for a belated first AW success; remains well treated on historical turf data, notably a win off 19lb higher in 2022; has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
In-form 3yo who scored comfortably over 5f here last week, taking his record in AW handicaps to 1231; mixed record at 6f but it includes a 2yo success; well handicapped under a penalty (future mark 3lb higher) and is a must for the shortlist.

Knocking on the door with increasing vigour and went down by just half-a-length in a 0-80 here three weeks ago (7f); no issue with returning to further (has won over 8.6f) and a 2lb rise is justified; claims.
