Form & Verdict

Won twice over fences last year for Rebecca Menzies but four lesser runs since have seen him slip down to his last winning mark; has switched stables since his last run in March and any significant move in the market should be noted.

Won this 12 months ago off 2lb lower on the back of a wind operation; got himself back on track when not beaten too far at Sedgefield last month so could put up a respectable defence.

J: Rian Corcoran

T: Rebecca Menzies

Won over C&D (soft) last January and followed up at Carlisle (2m, good) in March; very much of interest on that form but he's struggled on both outings this season and needs to turn things around.

Form & Verdict
8yo who remains a maiden and is unproven on soft ground, but he's shown pace before fading over 2m3f at Catterick (good) on each of his last three starts and could benefit from this drop back in trip; not ruled out.

Invariably goes off at a generous pace without lasting home, and might not have held Seren Y Teigr had that one stood up two starts back; down 3lb more, but vulnerable again to more economically played rivals.

Pulled up at Hexham last month but he's been a good second either side of that at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to soft); has won on soft ground; leading player if on a going day.

Produced good performance to win by 6l at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March but has not been in the same form again since, and he failed to convince stamina-wise on his three previous attempts at about 2m4f.
