Form & Verdict
Front-runner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all in a handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm) a week ago; drops in class but this is the shortest trip he has tackled, which is a concern (all five wins over 7f).

He's had a very productive year with five wins in the bag and yet still on a realistic mark; however, his latest run wasn't his best and he has never won over this far.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

Latest of his 11 wins came at Lingfield (6f, AW) in January and he went close at Wolverhampton next time; fair effort over 6f at Lingfield 36 days ago but this slight drop back in trip probably isn't ideal.
