Form & Verdict
Back in good form in refitted cheepieces this spring, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) before very respectable third at Hexham (2m7f, good); not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip or the switch back to blinkers but still considered.

2-2 in stayers' handicaps here; June's Hexham third to Divilabother (hat-trick scorer subsequently) looks better form now than then, and he's resumed winning ways over a 2m4f trip at the lowest end of his range since; disinterest in contesting the early pace might prove an asset today; big player.

Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble at Newton Abbot (good; cheekpieces added) last month and followed up there 21 days later off a 6lb higher mark; now up to a career-high mark off a further 5lb rise but remains unexposed as a stayer.

Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form.

His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; cheekpieces return and has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage.

Form & Verdict
Late-maturing 10yo who won twice last spring and maintained progress with some good runs in defeat in second half of last year; may not have been suited by soft ground when pulled up on latest outing; not out of this.

Runner-up in this last year (good to soft) and he arrives in pretty good heart having made the frame over C&D (good) on his last two outings; this 10yo has an each-way shout once more.

Runner-up in this last year, and again chased home Moonbow the following month; close fourth to Lets Mingle over C&D five weeks ago; is 2lb better off with that reopposing rival, and the 10lb claimer Ella McGarry takes over in the saddle; merits respect.

Hasn't had that much racing for a 10yo; enjoys this ground and has a solid record over C&D, so one to consider as he ran quite well last time at Bangor in a higher grade (finished last but weakened only late on).

Form & Verdict

Latest of five wins was off 6lb lower over 2m3f at Bangor in May (good); has won twice here (2m) and, although a 2m5f winner, didn't run up to form only previous start at 3m; wouldn't rule out on first run after wind op.

Six months off before a win at Bangor (2m4f) in May and still going well when she fell four out in another 2m4f handicap there four weeks ago; this course winner must enter calculations in refitted cheekpieces.
