Form & Verdict
Poor on the Flat, over hurdles and in one point start in Ireland, but was among the favourites for his new yard (did so well with new recruits last year) at Southwell recently and offered much more; has to be considered off the same mark.

Consistent on the Flat/over hurdles this year, and deserved last month's narrow win at Plumpton (2m, good; only time he wore a visor); can remain very competitive after 3lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Pleasing handicap debut, upped from an extended 1m to 1m4f, when having the disappointing Spectacular Style well behind at Kempton three weeks ago (hit traffic; third a winner since); has been dropped 1lb and that gave something to build on.

Took form to new level when drawing clear to score at Pontefract (1m4f, good) in April 2025 but absent since disappointing run over 1m6f a few weeks later, and this drop back to 1m2f is probably not ideal.

Ex-Irish gelding who won a weak C&D handicap, returned to blinkers from cheekpieces, easily a month ago (short-priced favourite Letmeseethecolts pulled away her chances); this is stronger off a 4lb higher mark.

5 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
String of short-priced defeats, blowing out as often as not, since winning a novice at 1-7 as a 3yo; maybe the return of the hood will help, down another 3lb, but his three previous runs on Tapeta were poor and he has it all to prove now.
