Form & Verdict
Bang-in-form 4yo who was always doing enough to hold on at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month and has now won three of his last four; latest 3lb rise does not look excessive; commands respect.

2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track.

Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender.

Mister Mojito

J: Ray Dawson

T: T J Kent

Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta.

Form & Verdict
Largely consistent 7yo who has made the frame on all four appearances this year (6f/7f); 6f may suit him better than 7f but he benefits from Jack Callan's useful 7lb claim today and can make his presence felt again.

Four-time winner from 40 starts; made an encouraging start to the campaign when second at Bath last month but ran below his best at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago; without a win since July 2024 and needs to bounce back from that latest effort.

Led on the post off today's mark at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; both subsequent 1m turf runs were perfectly respectable and today's drop back in trip will suit but he'd appeal more on an artificial surface.
