Form & Verdict
Sole victory came in a weak novice last backend and he's struggled since leaving Harry Charlton; not been seeing it out over further and now has a first crack at 5f (down from 7f) for a yard also responsible for Birkenhead.

Runner-up off 6lb higher at Redcar (5f, good) in June but hasn't kicked on from that and hopes are pinned on first-time blinkers prompting a revival; unproven on soft/heavy ground.

Went very close off 5lb higher at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in March but he's been up and down since; had an excuse in the mud at Haydock last time but losing run is now up to 13 and others are more convincing.

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

He has finished runner-up twice this season, including at Redcar (5f, good) off 4lb higher, but he failed to justify support when seventh at Beverley three weeks ago; career-low mark but his modest strike-rate (2-27) tempers confidence and there's a soft-ground query too.

Form & Verdict
Lost his way for Andrew Balding in the second half of last year but has found his level again lately; this is a bit easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting, including twice over C&D last month, and he enters calculations.

Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect.

Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards.

The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations.

J: Dylan Hogan

Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again.

Took advantage of a sliding mark when making all at Ripon a fortnight ago, minus the trademark cheekpieces (again absent here); a 5lb rise may be within reach now he's back in the groove.

No problem with conditions and he followed a close second over C&D by winning an amateur rider handicap at Catterick (5f, good) by daylight last week; 5lb higher today but he is likely to go up more than that when reassessed; key player from stall 1.
