Form & Verdict
He made an instant impact once handicapping in a visor, winning over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in February and following up over 1m at Newcastle 11 days later; back on the up with an emphatic front-running success at Bath last week (1m, good to soft) and he is 2lb well in under a 6lb penalty; faster ground to contend with today but this will be his last chance in a Class 5 for a while and he has to be high on the list.

Often front-runner; four wins over about 1m this year and twice runner-up (Epsom and Chester) in quick succession when stepped up to 1m2f in June; kept on well under usual rider Rose Dawes last time and this trip is unlikely to be an issue, but further improvement is needed for sure.

Is enjoying a fine season and racked up a fourth victory at Doncaster (1m) in April; posted another very good effort when runner-up in 1m2f handicap at Epsom six days ago; this likeable front runner is a player once more off an unchanged mark.

T: Jack Channon

Usually ridden by Rose Dawes; won four of seven handicaps, all once visored, including from the front over 1m at Bath (good to soft) and Doncaster when returned to turf; helped to set a strong gallop when fifth of ten at Haydock latest but he needs to resume improvement and this new trip is not sure to help.

Well on top at the finish of a 1m novice at Southwell on his seasonal return five weeks ago; that was his first attempt at the trip and he moves into handicaps with potential and his stable going well.

Upwardly mobile 3yo; did not give his running in a strong race at York's Ebor meeting but prior to that he'd bolted up from 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm); an 11lb higher mark looks fully justified and there may still be more in the tank; big player.

Returned to winning ways at Pontefract (1m, good) last month and found a surge of improvement to follow up by 7l against 13 runners at Redcar (1m, good to firm); he's 11lb higher than last time and in a higher grade but it remains to be seen where his limitations now lie; unraced on slow ground.

Still a maiden but he's getting closer, beaten just half a length at Doncaster (good to firm) in July and then by a neck at Haydock (also 1m2f; good) last month; possibly a shade unfortunate on latter occasion but this is a better race and he'll need to pull out a little bit more; that's not inconceivable, though.

Got back on the scoresheet with a runaway win over two rivals at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June; held in another small-field event at Epsom last time but that was a solid front-running effort behind an improver; still unexposed at this trip and he should be in the mix again back on AW.

Reliable 3yo whose two wins (from 13 races) were in very small fields, latterly when making all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a runaway win and the first time he's made the running, but he's 5lb higher today in what looks a more competitive race.

Seeking his first win but he has run well in defeat in all three handicap starts (9.4f-1m3f); drops back to 1m today and he could still have a bit more to offer.

Changed stables this spring and he was a close third on his first two runs for the yard (7f, good/good to firm) before a deserved win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month, getting off the mark at the tenth attempt with Flight Control and Three Non Blondes close up; respected up just 2lb.

Promising debut at Chester last July (7f, good; form worked out); no progress in two 7f runs at Newcastle afterwards but he has been gelded prior to his handicap/seasonal debut and stepping up to 1m should suit; one to be interested in.
