Form & Verdict
Out of a useful 1m 2yo winner; race a bit too freely but still made very pleasing debut when keeping-on second of ten at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal here.

3yo who has been inconsistent across his four handicap starts but he ran well when 2l second of six at Chester (5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and could be involved.

Promise as a 2yo and his seasonal return at Thirsk was encouraging too; not at his best at Musselburgh 15 days ago but he is edging down the weights.

33-1 for recent Wetherby debut (5.5f, good), shaping with promise before fading into fourth of six; probably needs to take a big step forward here.

No problem with soft ground and he returns to Class 5 after two defeats at a higher level; only 3lb higher than for his front-running win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; not ruled out.

Returned to form when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but he failed to back that up in a Silver Cup trial at Ayr last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again.

Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about.

Seven-race maiden but he got back on track with a close fifth here (6f) last month; now drops to 5f for the first time but he should get a good pace to aim at and he's well treated on his peak form; could be dangerous.

Won a novice at Beverley last July on his second start; had been disappointing since his reappearance effort at Musselburgh before finishing a 2l fourth of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last time, form that has since been franked by the third and fifth; down in grade and he's respected.

J: William Buick

Debut winner over 6f at Hamilton (good to soft); failed to justify a shade off odds-on when penalised at Southwell (7f AW) and that was disappointing, for all that a very slow pace might not have helped; bred to improve for this longer trip.
