Ran away with a 1m6f handicap on AW in January; well short of that level in three runs in the spring; returns from a break with a point to prove.

J: Tyrese Cameron

All starts on AW; sole start at 2m resulted in short-priced flop at Chelmsford in November; won at that track (1m6f) next time but he let favourite backers down again when beating one home over that trip at Wolverhampton in March; 1m4f caught him out last time but others look safer.

In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to.

Quickfire double at Lingfield (2m/1m5f; good) last August when the now-regular cheekpieces first went on; she's fired only once (last September) from her four subsequent starts, however.

Won twice in midsummer for James Ferguson, including C&D; low-key stable debut last month but back on the up with his C&D second 17 days ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; considered.

Hit form on AW this summer for James Ferguson, winning at Newcastle (1m2f) in June, and followed up over C&D with Billy Loughnane on board the following month; not so good at Southwell last time on stable debut but may be worth another chance here.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Luke Dace

Ex-French 4yo who is 1-7 for current connections, easily best of those outings all from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW; five-day break was blamed when he tailed off on turf (2m, good to firm) on latest outing, but that still leaves him with something to prove.

J: Alicia Perkins

T: Mark Usher

Dual 1m2f AW winner in 2024; upped from 1m4f to 2m under Alicia Perkins on Kempton AW 16 days ago and gave a positive response, as she travelled smoothly in rear but met some traffic before running on into second of eight; has some turf form (not this year) and could have more to offer as a stayer.

Not disgraced in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when fourth of six in 1m5f AW handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to build on that if he's to gain a first success at the seventh attempt.

Beaten under 3l in his first handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but he's been laboured in both subsequent runs; still unexposed after only six starts but he needs a transformation on this step up to 2m.
