Huge chance on some of last season's form; yet to get going for new stable this year but he's dropped 8lb and this represents a drop in class; better expected soon.

The addition of a tongue-tie saw him return to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June; the tongue-tie was left off on last month's stable debut and he ran creditably in fifth at Southwell; this may prove too competitive.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Gemma Tutty

Made it 3-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower early last month; a poor effort on turf a few weeks ago will need forgiving but he's the type to respond positively to a change of yard and the headgear coming off, so holds possibilities.

Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) last month; ran another good race when a close second at Ripon (6f, good) last time and he's respected off only 1lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Three wins from five handicap starts this year, over 7f at Wolverhampton in February and then adding turf successes at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month and at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) ten days ago; major player despite the 6lb penalty.

Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year; sent off odds-on when third of five at Brighton on latest in first-time visor; needs to pull out more but respected in this company.

Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year but was well backed last time and the booking of Billy Loughnane draws the eye with first-time visor added.

Form & Verdict
Back to winning ways with a game C&D win four weeks ago (good to soft); fine on good to firm and should be bang there despite a small rise in the weights.

Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached.
