Returned to form to win at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month and he's since been second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), albeit no match for the progressive winner; there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players.

Went close in a Bath handicap before justifying favouritism with a bit in hand at Leicester (1m, good to firm); up 3lb for that but mildly progressive by the looks.

Five-race maiden who is the least exposed contender; went close in Bath handicap (1m, good; wore hood/tongue-tie) six weeks ago, almost collaring a rival who received a well-judged ride from the front; respected, assuming the removal of headgear doesn't have negative effect.

Form & Verdict
Has run well on heavy but finished well beaten under those conditions on her handicap debut at Goodwood (got behind early); had previously made all at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and an RPR that day of 89 suggests that her current mark should be manageable.

Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today.
