8 yo Gelding

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Record of 6-54 and his last win was at Kempton (1m4f) in January; hasn't posed a serious threat in two runs for current yard but he's had traffic issues on both occasions and was beaten less than 2l at Southwell (1m3f) last time; on same mark here and he's a big player if things go more to plan.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent sort with record of 1-16; finished behind Sisterandbrother when fifth at Southwell (1m3f) last month but a close third in big field over C&D on her reappearance in March; has claims if she can recapture that form and her win was on good ground.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 323 in maiden/novice events but he's been well held in four handicaps; may have had stamina issues over 2m at Lingfield (AW) last month but he needs to raise his game on this big drop back in trip.

Low-mileage 4yo; safely held in first three handicaps (1m-1m2f) but this big hike up in trip is an interesting move; cheekpieces removed after one use; well worth a glance in the bettting.

Form & Verdict
Won on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last April but he's 0-9 since and has been well held in four runs this year; now 10lb lower than for his win but he weakened quickly at Nottingham three weeks ago and others are preferred; cheekpieces (tried once last year) are reapplied.

J: Mr Aiden Blakemore

T: Sara Ender

Added to his Musselburgh win last spring when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell last time; that was an eye-catching effort and he could be dangerous back on turf.

Two wins, including one over this C&D in May off a 5lb lower mark than today's; respectable effort when fourth behind younger rivals over 1m6f at Southwell ten days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip; could go well.

Resumed winning ways over 1m3f here in May; turned in a rare poor run with eighth of 12 in 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last time; the sort to bounce back, though.

Form & Verdict
His last win was in July 2022 but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a front-running third at Pontefract (1m2f, good; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; that was an encouraging effort after a break and he has possibilities if he can build on that.
