5 yo Colt

OR: 68

Form & Verdict
Revitalised by the first-time visor (retained) and return to turf when running away with a Wetherby handicap on Sunday (5.5f, good to firm); quick turnround is no issue for one who has obliged after just one day's absence before, and his appeal is clear to see despite the penalty.

Two C&D wins to his name; back to form for Ross Burdon, runner-up in his last three starts, but he's upped in class today and has it to do from 9lb out of the weights.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Ross Burdon

Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Winless away from AW, but last week's second in a Bath 0-80 (5f, good to firm) was one of his better turf efforts and this race is slightly easier; needs to back that up.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.

Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time.

Form & Verdict
Poor return of 1-30 for one of his ability, though he has been competitive of late and may have gone even closer at Catterick last week without taking a few bumps; livelier place claims than some.

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: John Gallagher

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.

Form & Verdict
He's had more success away from turf but has now won on the last two occasions he's encountered it, which was over 5f (soft) in the autumn and 7f at Brighton (good to firm) yesterday; both were under Jack Doughty and the latter was in an apprentice event, so he does not have to carry a penalty and must enter serious calculations.

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Sole win in 7f maiden for Charles Hills but she went down only narrowly in a Thirsk handicap at that trip in September and is now 2lb lower; hasn't shot the lights out for new yard as yet but the return to 7f can suit and adding cheekpieces may also help.
