Form & Verdict
Sprint handicapper with a useful strike-rate, and his Pontefract win (5f, good) in April was his fourth from just 11 attempts; stretched by 7f at Newmarket when last seen seven weeks ago; rain won't hurt and his rider takes off a handy 3lb.

T: Robert Cowell

Began the year with a pair of impressive 5f handicap wins on AW (here and at Southwell) and he didn't have ideal track position when finishing in midfield in a Naas Listed event in April; too bad to be true at York last time; equally effective at 5f and 6f; remains of interest.

Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in.

A tremendous campaigner over the years with two Stewards' Cups to his name; in and out this season and only twelfth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, but he has clear possibilities on his fast-finishing second to stablemate Northern Ticker over C&D in August; 1lb lower today.

Two years since his last win but this dual Stewards' Cup winner is more realistically treated these days and he gave his younger stablemate Northern Ticker a race at York last month; not so good at Doncaster last week and he will do well to win this race in his fourth attempt (seventh in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and sixth last year).

Form & Verdict
Not at his best on AW on his first two starts of the season but he ran as well as he ever has when third of 16 at York's Dante meeting three weeks ago (6f, good to firm); fully effective on slower ground but the combination of 6f and rain-softened ground might just see his stamina ebb away.

Form & Verdict
Into the veteran stage but won four times in a productive second half of 2024; the more rain to fall the better and today's test should be far more suitable than the fast-ground event he tackled at Doncaster on his reappearance; out of the weights and not easily recommended but he represents the stable who have won two of the last four runnings; could go well at a price.

Ran out the easy winner of a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Ripon (6f, good) on her return 18 days ago but that wasn't a strong race for the grade and she's been hiked up 7lb; rain shouldn't be an issue and she did threaten to be useful last season but this will demand another step forward.
