Form & Verdict
Progressive for Charlie Fellowes last year, winning twice, and made an encouraging reappearance when sixth of 13 at Thirsk (7f, good; raced freely, lost three places inside final 1f) two weeks ago; dropping back in distance looks a sensible move and he still has untapped potential; big chance.

Goes very well here and scored over C&D last May; off nine months, yet to hit form in a pair of 7f handicaps at Doncaster and Newmarket this summer but no surprise to see him take a sizeable step forward back here off a reduced mark, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who scored three times in 2024; all those wins came over 7f but he seems just as effective at 6f and he has a good record here; shaped well over an inadequate 5f at Beverley on reappearance and that run should have blown away the cobwebs; not fully exposed and should go well.
