Form & Verdict
Broke duck over 7f on AW in April but he hasn't looked ahead of his mark on turf since and was no real threat (admittedly away from the favoured strip) when third of six over C&D (good) in May; performance needs beefing up but down in grade with a tongue-tie fitted; yard won this in 2023.

Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove.

Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time.

Form & Verdict
Two 7f wins on AW in the spring of 2024 but it's been uphill for this yard since December, even though she lost her chance early last time out (blindfold off late; first-time cheekpieces, refitted); has some work to do.

Fully effective over C&D and fine on good to soft (more to prove on soft); unplaced at Brighton last time but beaten under 3l despite being allowed to coast home in the final 100 yards having seen no daylight; should be in the thick of it.

Form & Verdict
Wide-margin winner at Kempton (7f, AW) in February but she's found little at the trip since, on the AW and turf, and fitting cheekpieces (persevered with here) made little difference when having a go at front-running at Wetherby recently.

Four-time AW winner who ran her best race on turf when second of seven, beaten a neck, at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May; failed to back it up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces rather than visor) four weeks ago; this trip should be more suitable.

Caught the eye on his debut at Kempton (6f, AW) but he failed to progress in his next two starts and it was the same story on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; needs to take a big step forward from that first start for 112 days now stepping up to 7f.

Just an ordinary handicap debut at Leicester on her reappearance but her latest third at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) was a step in the right direction and she could take another one over this easy 7f; thereabouts.

Still a maiden after eight runs but was placed off today's mark at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) and Windsor (1m, good) on her last two starts; this extended 7f could be ideal for her and she'll be a tough nut to crack if the first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.
