Form & Verdict
Five wins last year and second over C&D in May, off 9lb higher; dismal efforts at Perth the last twice leave him with a deal to prove but just possible he'll be happier back left-handed; often makes the running.

Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) last September and followed up over this C&D (soft); hint of spark at Kelso last time and he's back down to his last winning mark, but has to take another step back in the right direction.

Second in this race last year and three of his seven chase wins have been at this venue; did little on last three starts, the latest back over fences here when 33-1 after 161-day break, so there are mixed messages.

Good winner at Ayr in March (3m) but was pulled up at Hexham (has won there) two months later and not seen since; hard to know what to expect but she has run respectably after a break.

Won off this mark (beat No Regrets by a neck) over C&D in May 2023; struggled last year, often pulling up, but gave an indication he's back in better shape when third to the in-form Halfway House Lad at Cartmel (3m1f, good; 20-1) a fortnight ago; worthy of inspection.

Looked very likely to win at Uttoxeter last week until unseating two out; no surprise to see him out again quickly, off the same mark, and will prove hard to beat if repeating the effort of seven days ago.

Market Rasen winner in March and ran at least as well when second at Cartmel, off this mark, in May; absent since, which is a slight concern, but every chance if able to repeat that form.
