Form & Verdict
His win came off 20lb higher over C&D (soft) but that was way back in 2020 and he's been quiet in three runs for new yard this season; overall record now stands at 1-20 and others are more convincing; stablemate of Van Gerwen.

Handles most ground and went close off this mark at Nottingham (5f, soft) in July but he's not hit the same level since including in two runs for this yard; now drops back in trip but he needs to find more.

Handles most ground and both his wins have come at this track (5f); only 1lb higher than for his close second here in July and he made a decent start for this yard when a rallying second of four at Brighton (6f, soft) two weeks ago; now goes back up in grade but he's not ruled out.

Won a 2yo maiden at Naas (5f, soft) in August 2021 but 0-7 since and down the field in all four runs for new yard this season; mark is tumbling and now drops into a Class 6 event but he needs a major upturn in form.

On a career-low mark and there's been a couple of hints of promise this year, but he's 0-17 since winning on his debut in 2021 and others have more compelling credentials; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

He's won just one of his 17 starts and has a regressive profile; however, he kept on for a fair sixth of 13 at Catterick (5f, good) last time and this step back up to 6f is worth a go; not discounted.

Four-time turf winner and his last success was off 1lb higher at Catterick (5f) last August; hasn't made a serious impact this term but he was placed over C&D in his penultimate run and has each-way claims if he can recapture that form; has won on good to soft and good to firm.
