Form & Verdict
Wore down a next-time-out winner (pair clear) late on when making it seventh time lucky in 6f Pontefract maiden (good to soft) under Jack Nicholls eight weeks ago; will be equally as effective back at 7f and can be made to look well treated on a few of his runs.

Wins at Pontefract (6f) and Catterick (7f) this summer and he has run with credit on his last two starts; worth a crack at 1m but his stamina will be tested given the underfoot conditions.

Could only manage a midfield finish at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) when bidding for a hat-trick; still has relatively low mileage but this is deeper than the Catterick event he won on his penultimate start.

Took a while to hit the target but he had some notable maiden form, including at this meeting last year, and now bids for a hat-trick after wins under Jack Nicholls at Pontefract (6f maiden, good to soft) and Catterick (7f handicap; good to firm); further improvement is possible; respected.

Form & Verdict
Performed with credit when twice reaching the frame in May; a stumble at the start did not help when only sixth at Thirsk latest but he's winless since 2024 and that wait for a next success may go on unless a change of headgear (first-time visor for regular cheekpieces) gives him a lift.

Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C&D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought.

Dual C&D winner from the front last October; mostly creditable efforts in defeat this year and should give it a good shot back at a venue which suits, particularly if he can obtain an uncontested lead.

Not at his best on soft ground here 24 days ago but he's better than that and this mark is well within range; likely to bounce back with a big run.

C&D winner in the past; began this campaign with two solid efforts and he is well treated if bouncing back; more recent efforts not quite so good though and he goes without headgear today; well drawn and handles soft ground so there are positives as well as negatives.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on turf on first two starts (including good to firm) before making it third time lucky when comfortably seeing off ten rivals at Southwell (7f, AW) last October; subsequently gelded; this is a slightly belated return to the track but he's potentially useful for in-form Ed Bethell.

Looked good when making all in a maiden over C&D last October, but having been gelded he hasn't built on that in two starts on turf since returning to action last month; return here a positive and he remains unexposed, but an uncontested lead seems unlikely.

Twice runner-up before winning a 7f AW maiden in October and then gelded; finished last of the four when favourite for his handicap debut at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but he raced freely up front and didn't look at home on the track; worth another chance.
