Form & Verdict
Running well (placed five times) prior to opening his account in 1m5f event here last Thursday, leading with a circuit to go and battling gamely under Mia Nicholls (first two well clear); proving consistent and should make a bold bid to defy 5lb penalty, provided he stays this new trip.

Three AW wins in 2023, over 1m5f and 2m here and 1m6f on Tapeta; slow to find form since back from absence and although his latest run at Bath was better, others have less to prove over 1m2f.

Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered.

Form & Verdict
Took well to first-time visor in apprentice event over C&D nine days ago, sticking on well having dictated the pace; runs off the same mark (escapes a penalty) and Aidan Keeley takes off 5lb; well handicapped in that respect and on peak form too; due to go up 3lb in future; respected.

Form & Verdict
Two turf wins (1m1f/10.5f) in France in 2021; had wind surgery prior to finishing second at Southwell (2m) four weeks ago, running his best race for current yard (fourth attempt); may build on that effort.

5-28 on AW compared to 1-17 on turf; may have needed his only start this summer (50-1, turf) and he's well handicapped given some of last year's AW and turf form, so he needs a second look in the returning cheekpieces which did the trick for him off this mark over C&D last December.
