Form & Verdict
Comfortably won Bath novice (5f, good to soft) on debut in April and also ran to useful level when second at Ascot (5f, good to firm) soon afterwards but has lost his way since; this is easier than his recent assignments but he comes here with a point to prove; hooded for first time.

Form & Verdict
Beginning to look exposed after seven runs but has made the frame five times, most recently when close third in Kempton novice (7f, AW) in June; last of six after making the running in Chester nursery last month (7f, good; first-time visor) but probably went off too hard there; drops back in trip and has a big role to play; no headgear this time.

9st 9lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back.

9st 5lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit.

9st 6lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025.

Form & Verdict
Unable to land a telling blow when midfield at Southwell (6f, AW) a week ago but did well to finish fifth on debut at Chester (6f, good) last month, given he lost ground at the start and raced quite wide; big player here if able to build on that initial effort.
