Added to his five turf wins when making all to beat 13 rivals at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; 5lb higher from wide draw here but he still looks on a workable mark and is lightly raced on AW; respected back in trip.

Drew a blank during regressive 2025 campaign and down the field on reappearance at Chepstow three weeks ago; however, he left last season's comeback run well behind to post 33-1 third on his next start, and he's not discounted off a reduced mark.

Two wins last winter, including a C&D handicap off 4lb lower; sent off favourite for his return from six months off at Newcastle (1m) last month but shaped as though the run was needed; Billy Loughnane retains the ride and he still has time to do better.

Lightly raced 5yo who went 2-4 when scoring on his handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in January, despite conceding first run; off since but he remains very much one to be interested in with Billy Loughnane up.

Impressive winner of two of his three AW handicaps as 2yo, at 7f and 1m, and his reappearance fifth of nine on the Rowley course (1m, good to firm) in May hinted at better to come; never reached a challenging position over C&D in June but has less to do this time; has to be considered.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Roger Varian

2-3 as a 2yo; not much has gone to plan on his two starts this year but he had soft ground as a plausible excuse for 56l defeat at Epsom (1m2f) on Derby Derby, and his down-the-field finish at Ascot (1m; first-time hood) last month came in a warm 3yo handicap; this race is easier and it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage.

Two juvenile wins came on his debut at Epsom (7f, good) around a year ago and at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in November; back at the former track when stepped up to 1m2f on soft ground for his handicap debut/reappearance but raced freely and was beaten 56l; that needs a lot of forgiving but the drop back to 1m, better ground and new hood are all reasons to expect better.

Won a Southwell handicap (1m, AW) last September and he's held his form with five creditable efforts since; ridden more prominently than previously when going down only narrowly at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) under Cieren Fallon a fortnight ago; should remain competitive after a 2lb nudge.

May not have achieved that much when justifying odds of 1-2 in a Lingfield novice (1m, AW; first start since being gelded) in February and was well beaten on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; this is only his second start on turf, but other look more compelling.

Modest form in four runs for George Boughey last year, failing to improve on his handicap debut (1m) last October; sold for 10,000gns later that month and gelded; only of interest if backed on his belated stable debut.

Verdict

The return to AW could invigorate Elan D’Or (second choice), while Exposure and in-form 6yo Racingbreaks Ryder also command respect. FIGHT YOUR CORNER still has untapped potential though and he can step forward from last month’s return to action.[Paul Smith]
