Form & Verdict
6yo who is without a win since July 2023 and this is his first run since March (gelded since); however, back then he was runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) and can be in the mix if returning in the same good form.

Form & Verdict
Made it 0-8 when blowing the start at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last Thursday; however, that isn't usually an issue and in the circumstances she did well to finish eighth, having also been denied a clear run; could play a leading role if everything clicks today.

All her racing has been done over longer trips, including up to 1m4f, but the drop to 6f at Kempton (AW) last time resulted in almost her closest finish; tailed off in her turf race, over 1m2f in June, and she still needs to improve significantly on that latest never-nearer fourth of ten.
