Form & Verdict
Has gained all AW wins at Wolverhampton; however, went very close over C&D nine days ago and would probably have won that race but for meeting some trouble in the straight; granted better luck, he holds a leading chance off the same mark and with Liam Wright taking off 7lb.

Has seven AW wins to his name, the latest at Kempton (7f) in May, but he's 0-14 on turf; solid fourth in this race last year, however, and latest sixth of 14 (1m, AW; hampered) suggests he can play a part again.

Seven AW wins, the latest on his seasonal return last month when getting the better of I'm Working On It (7f); midfield on turf latest; returning to AW is in his favour but all his wins have come at 7f (0-10 at 1m+) and he could prove vulnerable to stronger stayers today.

Went very close in this last year (good) and, having ended 2025 with a win at Kempton (7f, AW), he reappeared with another there (7f) last month; he can be bang there if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground).

On a 20-race losing sequence but is generally consistent and current mark (only 1lb above last winning one) is workable; just needs to settle better, having gone too freely the last twice.

Looked green but showed ability when fifth of eight on her Wolverhampton debut (7f, Tapeta) in January (just over a length behind Class Member), but didn't improve when filling the same position at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month; can be handicapped after this, but she could play a part if building on her initial performance.
