Invincible Boy

9st 11lb

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

C&D winner (good to soft) on his seasonal return in April; handicaps have been a struggle thus far but this represents a drop in class and he still has time on his side; visor could help turn things around too.

Invincible Boy

9st 5lb

J: Barry McHugh

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Reappeared with a convincing win at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April but he hasn't managed to add to that initial success in two subsequent York handicaps; it's still fairly early days and maybe this stiffer track will suit.

9st 9lb

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Scored with authority on his return in Pontefract novice (6f, good to soft) in April; never on the pace when well-beaten eighth of 14 in 6f handicap here 12 weeks later but it's possible he'll benefit from this step up to 7f and remains unexposed after four starts; going than firmer than good would be a first.

Form & Verdict
Gelded after debut then posted consistent efforts over 6f at Pontefract (once) and Hamilton (twice); solid contender and again has place claims, assuming he returns from layoff in similar form.

J: Tom Eaves

12-race maiden who has had an underwhelming campaign in the main but he returned to form when runner-up at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft ground; could be involved if producing another good run.

Maiden who's regressed in headgear this season; no sign of a revival despite his mark continuing to fall; cheekpieces return, replacing blinkers.

9st 3lb

J: Tom Eaves

T: Kevin Ryan

Maiden who's regressed in cheekpieces this season and is now given a go in blinkers, off the back of a poor first run back from wind surgery last time; too many defeats at short prices for comfort and needs a revival on his AW debut.

Form & Verdict
Rallying third of eight, faring best of the newcomers, at Redcar (6f, good) in sole 2yo start; similar type to King's Road Dandy and improvement looks possible.

Placed in five of his ten starts (6f-1m), mostly on slow ground; well treated on his best form but needs to step up on his last five efforts.

0-9 but he's produced some positive performances this year and ran well when third at Ripon (1m, soft) four weeks ago; he could benefit from this return to 7f and might not be far away in first-time blinkers.
