5 yo Gelding

OR: 76

Form & Verdict
He may have needed the run here in August after 150 days off and he has lots of good course form, winning here for the fifth time when scoring over C&D in March; capable of having a big say but comes with a major warning having refused to race at Southwell last time.

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.

C&D winner who won two in a row on turf in August and is back down to his last winning mark; however, he hasn't shone on his four subsequent starts and needs to raise his game.

Hasn't raced over 6f since the 2023 Ayr Bronze Cup; some solid 5f form this winter and, while the trip is a slight query (0-16), he was placed in a 0-85 in July 2022; today's rider knows him and is good value for his claim, especially in an apprentice race; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Some good runs in the summer on final few starts for Ruth Carr and he won by a short-head on stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in September; has won on the Wolverhampton Tapeta and, having shown good pace last time, this first crack at 5f is well worth a go; player.

Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer.

Always had his quirks and again hung left when a beaten-favourite at Southwell last time; usually dropped in and that will likely be the case again from the outside stall, in which case he'll need things to pan out ideally down from 7f.

J: Jack Callan

T: Michael Herrington

0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light.

Form & Verdict
Down the field on AW debut at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) two runs ago but was stretched by 6f after failing to settle; returned to form when runner-up at Musselburgh (5f) three weeks ago and could be in the mix once more.

Winning reappearance at Ayr (5f) in May and returned to form with a close call at Catterick 20 days ago; however, inconclusive AW form from just two attempts and offputting that he hasn't run on sand since late 2023.
