Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Often front-runs; not at his peak last year but the best of that form (July/August) still reads well compared to this mark; well beaten when hampered over 1f out on reappearance, so he needs to have come on since that run.

Form & Verdict
Won a Salisbury novice last July and not far away afterwards in his first two handicaps; may have needed the run 18 days ago and it was also his AW debut; unraced on softer than good; has more to prove over 1m (after last two outings) than 7f but may still be capable of a bit better.

His last two turf wins were on soft in 2019 but he did have one AW success in February 2022; missed last summer and has not quite recovered his best but some of that AW form still reads well compared to this reduced mark; last ran on turf on 2021.

Form & Verdict
Two wins for the Gosdens, the latest at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last June; with new trainer this season and surged back to his best when beaten a neck by Longlai at Kempton (1m, AW) on latest outing, so he's back in calculations with some turf form also requiring respect.

Form & Verdict
Most of his success has been on AW (last three wins over 1m at Kempton in 2021) but bits of turf form also read well, including in his only start on good to soft (unraced on soft); slowly away when respectable fifth of ten at Kempton 18 days ago on his first run for 289 days and he could prove more potent today.

In good form in blinkers last summer, winning twice at Sandown (1m and 1m2f) before placed efforts at Epsom and Newmarket; has tended to need his reappearance in the past so perhaps one to watch with an eye to the future; cheekpieces on today.

Has run once on softer than good, below form; his only win in recent seasons came on the July course here (1m) in August 2021 but he did not see much action last year; close third on penultimate AW start this year and not disgraced in a warm affair on latest, so he's not entirely ruled out.
