Form & Verdict
Stuck his neck out best when winning on handicap debut at Windsor (about 1m3f) and the shorter trip of 1m2f wasn't a help at Salisbury after even allowing for getting caught in a pocket; tough task at Nottingham in June (1m6f) but this looks more palatable on AW debut.

Generally productive over hurdles but last few efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form returned to the Flat for first time since winning at Redcar (1m6f, soft) in November 2024.

Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back.

Well beaten at Catterick last month but perhaps that run came too soon, just six days after he completed a double in good style at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); third in this last year and he could be involved.

Form & Verdict
Has improved with each race and ran up against one on a fair mark with a good course record when third on handicap debut at Chepstow 25 days ago (1m4f); found no extra there but seems likely to stay this far on a sharper track and may do better yet on AW debut.

Some fair form at staying trips for Ralph Beckett but it's been a modest start over hurdles and low-grade handicaps are more her scene; cheekpieces are new.

Fair stayer on the Flat for Ralph Beckett last year (albeit a maiden) but hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles for new stable this year; pulled up in 2m4f Hexham handicap three weeks ago and effectively on same mark from out of the weights here.

Form & Verdict
Yet to really make his mark in handicaps since successful debut on AW as 2yo and was beaten over 13l when fourth over 1m4f at Newbury in June; relying on improvement for the new trip back on AW to bring him into it.

1m3f wins here and at Windsor (good) last autumn came racing prominently; unfailingly consistent back over further under mostly rather more patient tactics since, and interesting to see how he's played tonight.

Form & Verdict
Several good runs at 1m2f (AW) and 1m4f since switched to handicaps in June 2021; on much the same mark throughout and still winless but this trip is worth investigating back on AW; cheekpieces left off; possibilities.

Placed a few times at up to 1m6f this term but form dipped the last twice; has a poor strike-rate (1-31) and is likely set for minor honours even if back on song.

Form & Verdict
Improved form when making all from four rivals in his second handicap, over about 1m3f at Bath in May; never involved in a higher grade at Musselburgh next time but gave it a good shot over 2m here last week and should be very competitive off the same mark.

Turf win at 1m3f but also ran some fair races at 2m for the Johnstons; sold 16,000gns since last seen in October and is not ruled out as he can go well fresh; first-time blinkers no help on latest, cheekpieces today.

Multiple AW winner, the last five of them over 1m2f here; winless since early 2021 but has run two sound races at 1m6f and 1m4f on latest two AW starts and has the benefit of Harry Davies's claim today; thereabouts.
