Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up when ridden by Chrstian Howarth over that same C&D 12 days ago, making all; he did it well last time and 9lb rise may not stop a bold bid for the hat-trick.

J: Christian Howarth

Hit a purple patch when completing a quick hat-trick at Nottingham (6f) in June; posted a respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f) last time and very much one to consider given he has run well on all three previous visits here.

Close third to Spring Bloom over C&D last week when bidding for a four-timer after wins elsewhere (maiden previously); still on career-high mark but, by the same token, remains in good form; not dismissed.

Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood.

Form & Verdict
Narrowly came out on top when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October on his second start, but he hung left when failing to beat a rival home on his handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) 78 days ago; tongue-tie is discarded for his turf debut.

T: Edward Bethell

Got off the mark for the season at Doncaster (7f) in July and has posted solid efforts to make the frame twice since, runner-up in 7f Thirsk handicap on latter occasion; may do better still reverting to 6f and not without interest after just seven runs.

Progressed again to edge out a reliable yardstick at Doncaster (7f; 4lb lower) but then only fourth at York; that was a bit disappointing given he was made favourite but this is only his seventh race.

Bar a blip on AW in the spring (wore a first-time tongue tie which was quickly discarded) his profile is steadily progressive, edging out Alpha Capture (due to run here on Friday) in 7f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb higher now back in a 3yo only race but he may have more to give.

Progressed with each of his three starts in novice/maiden company (7f/1m) but he didn't see things out on his handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, soft; first start since being gelded) 13 days ago; pedigree doesn't suggest this drop to 6f is what he wants.

Multiple course scorer (also goes well on soft) but yet to fire this season and underwent breathing surgery before coming in only ninth of 12 over 7f here eight days ago; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces now.

Prolific course winner, including this race in 2024, and he has dropped a long way in the weights; that is a result of some low-key runs this year and a wind operation since the latest is not enough to tempt.

Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday.
