Kept on for good third at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month and edged ahead close home to win at Ripon (1m4f, soft) last time; this 3yo is open to further improvement now up in trip and he's a strong contender.

Form & Verdict
The ground was fast when he beat five rivals at Beverley last month (1m4f) but he was well held in third on soft next time; near miss over 1m6f at Yarmouth last week (good to soft) and he runs off the same mark here; drying ground a plus.

Missed the whole of 2025; needs to put a lesser effort in a 0-95 contest at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last month behind him, but this is easier and he is just 1lb higher than for his last win, which came over this trip.

Three-time winner; showed the benefit of his return from a long absence when giving it a good go from the front in a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; whether he can improve again is debatable and this is tougher.

J: Jason Hart

T: Charlie Johnston

Three wins including an emphatic success at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) on his 4yo reappearance, but he has plenty to prove having been beaten a very long way on his return from almost 21 months off at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) 13 days ago.

Form & Verdict
1m AW winner on his Dundalk debut, after which he was sold for 75,000gns; encouraging handicap debut at Windsor three weeks ago (1m2f, good) and this step up in trip looks well worth exploring; not ruled out.

Average form over hurdles but performed with credit when fourth of nine finishers over C&D (good) behind Superstylin on chasing debut last month; may do better in this sphere but has his work cut out to reverse form with that rival.

Was struggling for form over hurdles before finishing a 3.5l third of ten behind Gore Point at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June, but failed to build on that last month back from a break; makes chase debut off a sliding mark but others have more obvious claims.
