Form & Verdict
Two years since his last win but he has slipped down the weights and a 1lb drop for his latest Kempton run, where he did best of the hold-up horses over a trip that is on the sharp side, looks kind; ideally suited by Kempton but he ran okay in one run here in 2020; not officially eased in class but this is effectively a 0-75 and he's one to take seriously.

On a handy mark but has done most of his winning at 1m and recent form is over middle distances; never dangerous on last 7f attempt and isn't crying out for a return to this trip.

Form & Verdict
In good form since cheekpieces went on this summer, running away with a 1m handicap at Nottingham in June and placed in four subsequent runs; has run well at this track in the past and he should be involved despite another jump up the weights.

Form & Verdict
Tired late on in the C&D handicap won by Finery nine days ago but the pair to beat him were more patiently ridden and the other prominent racers were well beaten off; capable of winning races off this mark and he's a strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to record her eighth career success in a Class 5 handicap over C&D nine days ago; 4lb rise asks a stiffer question but a C&D record of four wins and a second from five attempts (second over 1m2f on her other course visit) means she can't be dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Completed an AW four-timer (7f/1m) for Charlie Hills in the winter of 2021/22, but nothing like the same form since, including in three starts for this yard since returning from 339 days off in May; likely to come good at some point and worth a market check.

All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark.
