All five wins have been at 6f on Polytrack but last success was in August 2022; has finished placed off higher marks several times this year but her form has cooled in last two runs and she missed the break last time; now drops back into a Class 6 event but others are more solid.

Hasn't been prolific in recent seasons but he has some form in much stronger races this year; latest York run easy to forgive (drawn on the wrong side) and dropping into a 0-70 will help matters; has won over 6f but perhaps slightly better over 5f.

Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing.
