Form & Verdict
Consistent (won or placed in five of nine starts); won back-to-back at Chelmsford and Southwell (both 1m) in the autumn, and has coped with the subsequent weights rise; same mark here as when fading late at Southwell (1m, third; 9-4 favourite) earlier this month; bit more required.

Disappointing at York last month but progressive otherwise this year, making it four wins for 2025 when scoring at Yarmouth in May; his current mark may not be beyond him if he can bounce back from last time.

Five AW wins (at up to 1m) between last October and this March and back on the scoresheet at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in May (form franked); another good run when third at Goodwood (1m, good) last time, when they went no pace; every chance he'll continue to improve.

Form & Verdict
Traditionally saves best for Chelmsford, with both wins (7f/1m) and his five best efforts on RPRs coming at the Essex venue; however, he does have a consistent profile and was a close third in similar company on his last visit to Kempton early last year; should give his running.

Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him.

Too good for 21 rivals at Doncaster in March (1m, good to soft) in March; last of 13 at Southwell under a penalty soon after but he didn't see a lot of daylight and he can be given a pass; revival on the cards.

Finished off with purpose to notch just his second AW win (from 22 attempts) at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Class 5; 4-1) on Saturday; carries a 4lb penalty - offset by a 5lb claimer - on a rare AW foray away from Dunstall Park; player if equally effective at this track (first visit to Kempton).

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible.

Placed in 3-12 starts, including over this trip, when with Jane Chapple-Hyam; changed stables since latest start in October; trainer among the winners and it wouldn't be a huge shock if he manages to coax a first one out of this gelding, who drops back again in trip; check for any market confidence.

8-80; won three times last year, including when scoring with authority in a reapplied visor at Lingfield (7f, Class 6; 8-1) in December; has failed to build on that - caught wide at Wolverhampton latest - so probably has a bit to prove for the time being; headgear is discarded.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Sole turf win was in Jersey this May, preceding a Lingfield AW win in June; tailed off at Newcastle eight days later, which she needs to bounce back from, but the string of seconds (three on good to firm) at this time last year makes this look a good mark.

Sole win was in an Epsom maiden 16 months ago and she was never involved over 8.6f here (seventh of 11) last time; cheekpieces are now added but she's been in and out this year and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; others are more convincing.
