Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 211 on AW; flopped on handicap/turf debut at Musselburgh in April but he resumed his progress when going close at Chester (10.3f, good) last Friday; pulled 4l clear with the winner in that race and he's 5lb well in off the same mark here; strong contender and he should be fine back at this trip.

Went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July but well beaten in C&D Cambridgeshire in September; failed to settle and suffered interference on return, doing pretty well in the circumstances, but disappointing favourite at Pontefract 11 days ago; connections turn to cheekpieces.

Progressive in last year's 3yo campaign, going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in July; did pretty well to finish sixth on last month's return at Kempton (1m3f, AW) where he failed to settle and suffered interference; that run may have got the freshness out of him; on the shortlist.

Dual AW winner early in career; ran well for most of 2025 and his form peaked when he went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) in July; not beaten far at York next time but he comprehensively failed to live up to his market prominence in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final outing (his first race since gelded); no way does that rule him out today.

Nine-time winner at up to 8.3f and latest was here (7f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher than for that success but has struggled in his last two runs and needs to get back on track.

Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
His last win was in 2022 but he rallied well to go close at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and the drop back to 7f looked against him at Doncaster last time; wouldn't want this to be tactical but has possibilities if things go his way.

Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these.

T: Geoffrey Harker

Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft.

Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a reduced mark when justifying short-priced favouritism on stable debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) last month; couldn't make a serious impact at Ripon next time but he ran into some trouble and that was another creditable effort; remains well treated on old form and he's respected back in trip.

Disappointing favourite at Goodwood on reappearance but perhaps the track and the drop back to 6f were against him; progressive in handicaps last season and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer for a top trainer who has won two of the last four runnings of this race.
