Won over C&D (good to soft) last September and he's just 1lb higher today; won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month on his second start for this yard and there's lots to like about his claims.

In fine form for this new yard this year with two wins over hurdles and two on the Flat here, the latest over 1m5f earlier this month (soft) when beating Spanish Hustle by a neck; another good run expected.

Got up in the last stride to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark (trained by Stuart Coltherd); in fine form for new stable in 2026 with his win in a C&D handicap in June sandwiched by a pair of hurdle wins at Hexham; another solid hurdle run 73 days ago; needs serious consideration.

Bidding for a hat-trick of hurdle wins having won his last two races over 2m4f here, last time beating Well Educated by 9l; won over 1m5f on the Flat at Hamilton in between (good); 9lb higher than last win, but a chance despite dropping back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form when third here (1m3f, good) last month on second run of the season; also effective on soft ground; could play a leading role if seeing out this longer trip, and there can be optimism on that score.

Unraced on firmer than good; off the mark for the season at Musselburgh (1m5f) in August but ran moderately on soft ground (runner-up on it once last November) 12 days ago; worth going beyond 1m5f for first time.

Form & Verdict
Improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in April and easily made all back there (2m, good) a fortnight ago; he enjoyed the run of the race last time but a 6lb rise isn't harsh in view of this unexposed 7yo's dominance; has to be respected.

Very lightly raced 7yo who won here (2m, good) in May and at Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; returned to form with good third at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last time and he's a possible contender.

Lightly raced 7yo who won at Musselburgh (2m, good) in May and Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; however, he seemed to find the trip too sharp over C&D (good) in between and ran poorly over 2m when favourite at Musselburgh on Friday.

Five-time turf winner who went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in February when last seen; not discounted but it's possible this 8yo will improve for this first run since; question mark about slow ground nowadays.

9-70, with the most recent success coming at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in June off a 3lb lower mark than today's; consistent since and this hold-up performer has claims if things drop favourably.

Well beaten last month on her two runs this year (1m2f/1m1f) and arrives with something to prove, but she's 4lb lower than when winning at Haydock (11.6f, good) last July and the step up in trip may be a positive; stable has won the last two runnings of this race with Two Auld Pals; not written off.

Three of her four wins have been at Newcastle and she bounced back with a clear second behind a resurgent rival over C&D last month; this is a deeper race but she travelled smoothly for a long way last time and is an interesting contender off unchanged mark.

Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-8; not beaten far when fourth of six at 66-1 at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last June on her stable debut and sole outing of the season, but she's back from another absence today and it may be best to look elsewhere; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Nine-race maiden; ran an encouraging race on her stable debut over C&D (good) last June but returned from a year off with a heavy defeat at Hamilton (first-time tongue-tie) 93 days ago; has plenty to prove after another break and others are more convincing.
