Form & Verdict
Sole win came in a three-runner Pontefract maiden (1m, soft) last May; respectable efforts on last two starts (AW, 1m and 7f) and he's not fully exposed on turf after six starts; handicapper slowly relenting; not discounted.

0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist.

Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking.

J: Robert Havlin

Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game.

Form & Verdict
23 runs here have produced four wins and six seconds, including a short-head defeat in this race last year; nearly two years since the last of those wins but he left a modest C&D effort behind when second of eight in a newly fitted hood at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last week; 1lb well in.

J: Luke Catton

T: Jim Boyle

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins earlier in career; made a winning start for Edward Bethell on AW (7f) in March but hasn't matched that in his two starts (5f and 6f) for this yard; return to this trip might help.

Found 1m stretching him on his comeback from five months off and is entitled to improve, back in the cheekpieces last sported last July; still paying the price for his easy Epsom win last August, though, and there's not much wiggle room off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Continues to struggle despite the handicapper's assistance and a returning visor (discarded again today) couldn't perk him up when last of eight over 6f here (good) last time; he did finish second on his one go over 7f but that came during happier times; of interest only with market support.

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run.

Won twice over 7f (AW) in late 2023; on a losing run but proved resurgent over 6f on last three starts, two seconds sandwiching an unlucky fourth, all on good to firm in a visor; back up 3lb but still nicely treated on old form and ran well over C&D as a juvenile; interesting.
