Form & Verdict

Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable.

Form & Verdict
All five runs have been over this trip and best form has come on the AW, including a Chelmsford maiden win in December; no joy on turf in last two runs but he wasn't beaten far at Yarmouth last time and he still has potential; could be dangerous back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Has had only one run on AW and that resulted in a win at Southwell last autumn; runner-up in three 6f handicaps in May/June and she got back on the scoresheet on her step up to 7f at Catterick (good) last Wednesday; has a penalty but she hit a personal best with that comfortable success and is a big player again back on Tapeta.

Has bundles of early speed and she used it to good effect at both Kempton (6f) and York (5f) in the first half of the season; ran better than the 5l defeat suggests behind Shagraan at Beverley last time but, even so, it appeared to highlight her limitations at this level.

Has progressed with virtually every run since joining her current yard in 2023, winning five handicaps; her latest success at York in May was a personal best by some way and showed she's at least as effective at 5f as 6f; in much deeper here but she still looks unexposed and could have a say.
