Form & Verdict
Made all in maiden handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June; disappointing after that in 2025 but more encouraging signs when fifth of nine to Herakles (Dc Cogent third) on Nottingham reappearance 19 days ago, fading late as if the outing was just needed; enters calculations having dipped 2lb below her winning mark.

Recorded his fourth win when taking five-runner Catterick handicap (5f, good to firm) in June but there have been diminishing returns subsequently; possible he prefers this sort of field size and there's nothing wrong with his mark if he can stage a revival.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career.

J: Jason Hart

T: Paul Midgley

Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years.

Form & Verdict
Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again.

Acts on good to firm and soft ground; his last win was 12 months ago but that was off 4lb higher and he returned from a three-month break with a promising effort at Musselburgh (5f) last month; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out.
