Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer.

Has won twice on good ground but other seven wins have been on good to soft/soft; had his ground when third at Nottingham two runs back, and not beaten far when seventh at Thirsk last week (5f, good); on a good mark but needs rain not sun.

Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day.

Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away.

Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well.

Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Musselburgh (5f, good); given the narrow winning margin (a nose), a 2lb rise looks fair; should be thereabouts; stablemate of Resilience.

Patchy form across her last few starts, and she became upset in the stalls and was withdrawn here on last intended start (12-1 at the time); however, she's now 3lb lower than when winning in May and is not ruled out.

Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Not at his best on his last few starts but he showed some spark when sixth at stiff Carlisle recently and this speedy sort could prove better suited by this sharp track; on a reduced mark and could go well.

Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher.

Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere.
