Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo; started out in a bumper in October before going down narrowly at Newcastle (1m2f) on Flat debut a fortnight later; beaten favourite both runs since (1m4f and 1m2f); drops in trip for his handicap debut but he's an exuberant sort and could benefit from it; interesting to see if his backers return.

Won two in a row at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last spring for George Boughey and he's just 1lb higher than when last successful; effective at 1m2f earlier in career; however, he hasn't been at his best on his last four starts, for this yard on the last two occasions, and he has to raise his game.

J: Shane Gray

Soundly beaten in mid-division on last month's stable/seasonal debut in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but that was his first encounter with slow ground and he may have needed the run; won twice over this C&D (good to firm) last spring, including this race, and could play a leading role back here.

Form & Verdict
It's been a long time since his last win but he retains ability and would have gone even closer at Thirsk nine days ago (7f, good; well backed) but for having to wait for a gap at a crucial stage; 3lb rise for that effort asks a tougher question but returning to a mile should be fine and he's one to take seriously.

Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these.

Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft.
