Form & Verdict
Front-runs; unbeaten in five handicaps at 6f and 7f, on good to firm and good; winning margin has shrunk each time but he just hung on to his Rowley course superiority over Washington Heights at York last month, where Mill Stream and Eminency were hot on their heels; some cat and mouse will be involved from an adjacent stall to Washington Heights and it's hard to split them but he's again a major player.

9st 5lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Promising second on reappearance at Newcastle and better than the bare results suggest since, meeting significant trouble in running in a big field at York last time; could play a major role if getting the breaks.

Form & Verdict
Both wins at 7f on AW but the drop to 6f was nearly a big success on Newcastle Tapeta 12 days ago where, having gone clear, he was a shade unlucky to be done on the line by a more patiently ridden rival; needs to transfer that back to turf but should have some scope at this trip.

J: Clifford Lee

Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict.

Missed out by a nose at Ripon last month (6f, good); 3lb higher in a stronger race but he has been rated much higher in the past; couldn't dismiss.

J: Sam James

Now 4lb lower than for his Catterick success 12 months ago; made a promising return at that track in April before plenty went wrong back there two weeks later; cheekpieces back on today; betting can help.

9st 7lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Michael Bell

Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form.

9st 8lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Michael Bell

All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list.

8st 2lb

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Michael Bell

All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question.
