1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

Had some long spells on the sidelines since his solid 2022 campaign; two solid efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence; has run well over C&D and should give it a good go from the front.

Form & Verdict
Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time.

Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts.

J: Finley Marsh

T: Richard Hughes

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Below par at Sandown this month but a return to his May form, namely an AW success flanked by second-place finishes on turf, would put him in the picture.

He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes.

Seven-time winner at Chepstow and finished a solid second, splitting subsequent winners, there last time; has form over this C&D and warrants respect up just 1lb.
