J: Mr Jack Lander

Raced mainly on stiff/galloping tracks; largely consistent winning off current mark at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) in April; in the mix, provided he's as effective back on a sharper course.

Resumed winning ways at Beverley (8.5f) in April and has continued in good form, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap 13 days ago; winner has gone in since so a bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark.

The visor has had a positive effect and he may have bumped into one when a clear second off this mark 11 days ago (Polytrack); goes well here and is one of the likelier winners.

Disappointed on his reappearance in June but he's been running well in three starts since the visor was applied, most recently finishing third of 11 in a 0-75 at Haydock (7f, good) 13 days ago; drops in grade with good claims.

Overall record of 2-40 but he's finished runner-up four times this season including at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on old form and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid.

Wins have come on turf in the summer and her record on Tapeta would be mixed at best; generally been running consistently of late but over shorter and this is a different test upped from 1m1f.

Four C&D wins in 2024 (including a Class 5); unfortunate (hampered) not to justify market support when runner-up to Dinah Myte here in June; excuse - bled from nose - next time; recent Southwell run (fifth) should have him spot on for this.
