Form & Verdict
Has an ordinary strike-rate overall but he broke his turf duck over C&D (good to soft; acts well on good to firm) in June and nearly always runs well in sprints on this track; one of the better options.

Both wins have been over 6f here, the first on good to soft in June, the second on good to firm last month; effective at 5f, but not been in quite such good form recently.

Gained a second success of 2026 at Hamilton (6f) in July; came in last of eight over 5f here a fortnight later, though, and was also disappointing over C&D on Saturday.

Suited by Hamilton and was winning for the second time there two starts ago (both 6f; good to soft and good to firm); found little returned to 5f on this track since and the yard's other two runners look more likely.

Form & Verdict
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade.

A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well.

9yo who has been beaten on his last 13 starts and hasn't really shone elsewhere on his last two outings; however, this four-time course winner was second in this last year and a respectable fourth over C&D three starts ago; could have a part to play now back here.
