Form & Verdict
Won three in a row last season and he's got back on the scoresheet with wins at Ayr (6f) and Beverley (5f, both on good to firm) in his last two starts; has a penalty for his last success but that was a personal best and he's a big player in this hat-trick bid.

Completed a sprint hat-trick last summer and he has repeated the trick this time around, with wins at Ayr, Beverley and Thirsk; his winning spell came to and end over C&D last month but he wasn't beaten far in that Class 4 event and he's still unexposed on AW; dangerous dropped back in grade.

Inconsistent this season but last two attempts in Class 5 comprise a success (off 4lb higher) and close second; drop back to this grade may have a positive effect.

Soft-ground C&D winner in 2024; finished down the field in the Silver Cup at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago but he ran well at Thirsk (5f, good) the time before and should be happier back at 5f; others preferred, however.

Unexposed 3yo who showed clear promise in novice events but he was beaten 14l on his handicap debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; had wind surgery since but he needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added after a short break.

Back in very good form since undergoing wind surgery with third placings in 5f handicaps at Thirsk and here last month; less exposed than most of these and needs considering in his bid for a maiden success.

Unexposed maiden; underwent wind surgery prior to last week's good third at Thirsk (5f, good; tongue tied first time); today's stiffer test will suit and he should have a bigger run in him soon.

Wandered around late, but had her head in front where it matters at Doncaster (5f, good to firm; from 3lb lower) in July; not far off that level of form at Chester and Thirsk (5f, good; fourth to the thriving Azuinthejungle) since; must enter calculations.

Can lack some concentration as when holding on last week at Doncaster (5f), for her second win in three starts; up 4lb and they claimed 5lb last week, so has more on her plate from stall 9.

Form & Verdict
Better than ever this season, with form figures of 3112, and her latest win was over C&D (good); usually comes from off the pace and she split two rivals who raced more prominently when runner-up here in June; returns after a short break but she's strongly respected off same mark as last time.

C&D record 115; won back-to-back at Ayr and Thirsk (both 5f) in May/June, rising steadily in the weights as a result; below par since returning from mid-summer break, though her latest Beverley effort (on heavy ground) is excusable.

Two wins on good ground this summer (handles good to soft) and she ran well off this mark in her hat-trick bid in June; not at the same level this month though and soft ground and stall 15 leave her with a look of vulnerability.
