Form & Verdict
Made the most of a drop in class when winning easily under Laura Coughlan (record on him 23201) at Redcar (1m, good to soft) eight days ago, ending a 25-race losing run; has a 4lb penalty to carry, but is still 2lb well in and this is even weaker; another big run expected with conditions likely to suit.

Nine wins in Britain; no success in Ireland; fair recent form but needs to find extra judging by Galway fourth and previous C&D sixth when Special Protector and Dinamine were in front of him.

Form & Verdict
20lb below his last winning mark, but losing run up to 16 despite plummeting in the weights and neither performance since returning last month suggested he was about to bounce back; can miss the break.

Two 1m turf wins for previous trainer in the summer but no strong signs since, for that yard or current one, that he was about to break his AW duck; ran respectably in blinkers in 2021, first-time cheekpieces today.

J: Finley Marsh

T: Lee Carter

Two 1m wins on soft this summer; not discredited in midfield at Chelmsford (didn't get a clear run) this month and contested a voided race 13 days ago; changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales last week; considered but he's made far less of an impact on AW than turf.

Form & Verdict
Often a front-runner who won twice at Beverley (8.5f/1m2f) on good and soft ground last September; built on her reappearance effort when winning easily at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days ago; 1lb well in under her penalty and she may enjoy the run of the race; could take some catching.

Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark.

0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall.

0-9 but came closest to winning when second of 13 at Chelmsford (1m, AW) eight days ago; due to go up 2lb, but a major question mark over how he will handle the likely conditions on turf debut.

Form & Verdict
Sole win in ten starts came here (1m2f, good to firm) last summer, but unplaced in five outings since and cheekpieces made little difference at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in October; soft ground a concern and likely to need this after seven months off in any case.
