Made the most of a drop in class when regaining winning form at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) last month (third has won since); 4lb higher and back up in grade, but he still holds more compelling claims than a few.

Three AW wins for previous stable; 0-8 for current yard and his form has declined rather sharply; however, he may produce a resurgent display back at this level, being 2-2 in Class 6.

Three AW wins (1m2f-2m) in 2023; lightly raced since and he's been well held back from another break in his two runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Big prices and was beaten 14l or more in three novice events (7f/1m) this autumn but he's a half-brother to a very useful middle-distance winner and is a possible improver upped to this trip on handicap debut; needs checking in market.

Gasman

T: Charles Hills

Well-backed favourite when a fair fifth in a Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good to soft) on his stable debut in May but he hung badly left throughout when tailed off at Bath last time; that took his record to 0-7 and has plenty to prove again after that; tongue-tie back on.

Form & Verdict
Down the field in three novice events and it was the same story when upped to 9.4f on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (first run since gelded) last month; was never involved in that race and he needs first-time cheekpieces to make a difference; stablemate of Me And Mrs Jones.

Form & Verdict
Cost 270,000gns as a yearling; well held in all four runs so far but she made some encouraging late headway when sixth of 12 in a Southwell handicap (1m, Tapeta) last month; still has potential for top yard and she looks interesting on her step up to this trip (dam won at 11.5f).

Hasn't threatened in her first two handicaps, over 1m here last month and 1m2f at Lingfield on Monday (fourth of five behind Haaland), but this 270,000gns yearling has made late headway on each occasion and could be well served by this step up in trip.

Six-race maiden who has not really progressed but she was a creditable third behind an improver at Wolverhampton (9.4f; second-time blinkers) 12 days ago; 1lb lower here and she's respected on this step up to 1m2f.
