Form & Verdict
Modest form in 7f and 1m maidens last autumn; gelded since; as is customary with this in-form yard, he should be of vastly more interest now that he goes handicapping over middle distances.

J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Versatile tactically; his only two wins were in 2023 but this highly reliable handicapper has been runner-up in six of his seven races since, including in useful company and also over 2m when he wore cheekpieces on last three occasions (hung right and lost out to a rallying rival last time); now tries blinkers and has each-way claims from low draw.

Versatile tactically; off since last July but short-headed last May after a longer absence and he was also runner-up on his two other starts last term, taking his handicap record to 121224222; upped to 2m with cheekpieces enlisted for last two outings, one of which was on Chelmsford Polytrack; edging up the weights but should go well again.

Consistent; successful at Ffos Las (1m4f Class 6, good) in June, and has since acquitted himself well around the southern turf circuit (1m4f-1m6f); competes from a joint career-high on just his second attempt on the AW, so it is possible that he'll find a few stronger; first-time cheekpeices.

9l defeat in maiden at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) on latest start was his closest finish; the form has taken a couple of knocks and it's unclear whether this trip will be far enough but he looks the type to make progress now he's sent handicapping.

Has been a bit up and down since returning from a mammoth absence in April, but his second of five at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) 12 days ago was handsomly franked by the winner at Newmarket on Saturday; has won over this far and a major player.

Best runs in handicaps came when cheekpieces were enlisted for last two outings, over about 1m3f; still needs extra and switches to a visor; his only three turf races have been on good to soft.

Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in May and good third on the Flat at Bath (2m1f, good) in June; well-beaten fifth of 12 at Chester (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago but may have been unsuited by the tight track and today's test of stamina could be right up his street.

New stable this year; three respectable thirds for them at Wolverhampton (up to 1m4f, AW) and heavy ground probably excuses the scale of his defeat when returned to turf on latest outing; blinkered on last two outings and now tongue tied as well; edging down the weights and searching for his first win.
