Form & Verdict
Enjoying a fine year, winning handicaps here (7f, good to firm) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft) and runner-up on three other occasions; couldn't justify favouritism in a competitive Haydock sprint 11 days ago but he didn't run as badly as the bare figures might indicate, travelling well but with nowhere to go before getting shuffled back through the pack; won't mind if rain arrives and he's high on the list despite dropping back to a sharp 6f.

6f winner at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; posted another good effort when runner-up at Epsom in August; only eighth of 11 at Hamilton (6f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back.

Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; comes here on the back of a very good nose second of eight in 6f Epsom handicap a week ago; another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark.

Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Looked quite promising when winning a couple of AW events early in the year but he hasn't kicked on since handicapping; this is an ease in grade, and a tongue-tie goes on for the first time (new blinkers replacing cheekpieces too), but he's not a solid option.

0-19 since winning twice early last year but he's on a much reduced mark and made some late headway over 5f at Wolverhampton last time; looks worth another go at this trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he got involved.

Form & Verdict
Yet to win a handicap but he's run some good races, second to a handicap blot at Southwell (6f) and then a good third at Goodwood last month (5f, good); dropped 1lb for his troubles and going back up in trip will help; solid contender.

Both 2026 wins were 5f (soft/good) and decisively on top from Hypnotised at Sandown in July for latest; below form behind that rival at Newbury (good to firm) latest start but has bounced back before; one to consider.

Both 2026 wins were 5f and he was decisively on top at Sandown (good ground) 17 days ago; that was a personal best and he's in the mix, although significantly worse off at the weights with Sandown runner-up Hypnotised.

Form & Verdict
Made all when winning a 6f handicap at Windsor last August (good to firm) off an 8lb higher mark; no impact in two runs for new stable this year but Paul Mulrennan is a positive booking for the yard (3-11 this year as well as two seconds and a third) and a revival could be imminent with cheekpieces now refitted.

This easier off his last winning mark for a yard among the winners of late; has only been beyond sprint trips twice during a long career, though, and has stamina to prove.

Capitalised on the drop into Class 6 company when winning over C&D last October; came up short in Class 5 company twice afterwards and although he should be well treated on historical evidence, he may prove up against it back from 11 weeks off.

Form & Verdict
Last-gasp Doncaster win on his seasonal/handicap debut in April (5f, good to firm); beaten three times since while leaving the impression a bigger effort is lurking, most recently meeting trouble when closing in on the leaders at Ripon (5f, good; tongue tied first time); should be fine over an easy 6f and he's respected.

Patchy form since making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) in April, his best subsequent effort when beaten a head off this mark at Catterick (6f, good to soft) on his penultimate outing; each-way claims on his best form.

7f maiden win here one year ago; 0-11 in handicaps since but several good runs in defeat, including a second to a red-hot rival at Ayr last month; fair run in the new cheekpieces at Nottingham 11 days ago but this is a better race and others look open to greater progress.

Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick.
