5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game.

J: David Egan

The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go.

Won the same Class 4 at the other Newmarket track (5f, visored) in July for the third consecutive year; held in a higher grade subsequently but he's now just 2lb higher and this drop back into calmer waters must help; no headgear for his first visit to the Rowley, though.

Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
Back-to-back 6f wins in June and nearly added a 5f handicap at Ascot the following month; wasn't on his game back there last time but definite chance if shrugging aside that disappointment.

Form & Verdict
Front runs over 5f; last year went well with three wins in the space of four runs and he's back to a more realistic mark; gelded prior to latest run at Beverley and ran okay given he went off a bit too quick for his own good.

Back to his best this year, winning three times from the front, latterly from the same stall over C&D in July; did it easily that day but finds himself 9lb higher as a result, which will test him back from a couple of months off.

Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch.

Shrugged off some below-par runs when third of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago and he's now back on the mark he defied at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in May; 0-5 on AW but a creditable fourth over C&D on his yard debut in the spring; Danny Tudhope is not a regular booking for the stable.

0-6 this year but he retains all his ability and did quite well at Chester given how that race panned out before making no impression in the Windsor handicap won by Rocking Ends; if forgiven that it's easy to make a case.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Michael Attwater

6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time.

Never headed when a clearcut winner at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and was then fifth of 15 at York; has competition for the lead here but Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb will aid his cause.
