9st 0lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Charlie Johnston

The initial positive reaction to a visor soon wore thin and he beat only one home at Newmarket last time (1m6f) with no headgear (as today); has dropped to a dangerous mark but with some major questions to answer.

J: Connor Beasley

T: Charlie Johnston

Respectable third to Goblet Of Fire on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May in a first-time visor; perhaps any beneficial effect from the headgear has worn off, as he ran poorly on latest start, but he is now 1lb below his last winning mark (from last July) and the visor is removed.

10yo, no significant impact when very lightly raced in recent years; his only two AW races (neck second in one) were on Polytrack in 2018 and 2019.

Formerly with Sir Michael Stoute, smart over 1m4f in 2020 when usually visored; absent for 1373 days before last season and staged a partial recovery when tried in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m6f) on second run back, admittedly in only eighth of 14 (beaten about 5l); dropped another 6lb since but also absent another 407 days.

He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good) before good third at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time; he'll be fine at this longer trip, and also if slow ground prevails; could be bang there.

He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); beat bang-in-form stablemate last time and a 5lb higher mark might not stop this course winner.

Sixty Plus

10st 6lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: James Owen

Reeled off four straight hurdle wins last summer before losing his way; minor form when qualifying for a mark on the Flat since but he's proved well ahead of it since handicapping with cheekpieces refitted, winning by 6l at Thirsk (1m4f) and Lingfield (1m6f; both good to firm); 3lb well in under big penalty; major claims.

J: Robert Havlin

T: James Owen

Won four times over hurdles between July and September last year; lost his way in that sphere and struggled this summer in his first three Flat runs (1m2f-1m6f) but he should have a future in Flat handicaps, as he showed when winning well in a small field at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on Friday; hard to beat under a penalty if in the same form.

Won at Ripon (2m, good) in April and at Catterick (2m, good to firm) last month; a case can be made on those performances but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his two runs since, including over C&D last time.

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Tim Easterby

4yo who's relatively lightly raced and has found his niche in 2m races this season, winning at Ripon (good; made all) in April and Catterick (good to firm) last month; didn't show it in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle two weeks ago but that was on AW and after just a five-day break; 3lb lower today and still has more to offer with stamina tests.
