Form & Verdict
Won novices at Kempton (7f, AW) and Thirsk (1m, good); could only manage fifth on his C&D handicap debut at the July meeting but he looked like finishing closer until fading towards the finish and this lightly raced sort from a top stable remains open to improvement.

Had been running over further until a keeping-on third over C&D three weeks ago when tried in blinkers; would make greater appeal at 1m.

Ex-Gosden gelding whose standout run for this yard was his narrow defeat over 1m here in April; recent efforts not good enough but always a chance that blinkers could trigger something.

J: Sean Levey

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

Standout run for current yard (is ex-Gosden) when going down by a neck over C&D in April; is hard to fancy on what we've seen of late even allowing for 1m2f stretching him the last twice; cheekpieces removed.

Form & Verdict
Improved with a win and second in 7f Newbury nurseries (good/good to soft) at the end of last summer; it's taken a while to get him back but he retains potential and 1m should be within range; the betting will provide more clues.

J: Robert Havlin

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Missed almost three years before returning this spring; well held in first runs for current yard but he rallied well to finish third of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) two weeks ago; that was much more like it and he remains well handicapped on his old form including three wins over this trip; interesting contender.

J: David Nolan

Top handicap form for the Crisfords in 2023, including at York; absent for 1038 days prior to his Haydock return in April and duly well beaten; better run here at the Dante meeting and he should be at concert pitch now.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f conditions event on the Rowley course on his reappearance in April; ran as well as he's ever done when 2.5l fourth in Chester Listed race four weeks ago; however, a near-smart effort will be needed if he's defy a three-figure rating on his first attempt in a handicap.

Showed useful form for previous yard; 0-11 for current stable but last few efforts, most recently going close off this mark at Leicester (7f) last week, suggest his turn is near; appears to have a leading chance (due to go up 3lb from tomorrow).

J: Jason Watson

T: David O’Meara

Capable of smart form when trained by Charles Hills; struggled initially for this yard but there was much more encouragement off his much-reduced mark at Ayr last week (1m, good to soft), keeping on strongly having met trouble in running; can't discount now he's found his level.

Form & Verdict
Gained a third handicap win of his career when getting up close home in a blanket finish over 7f here in June; good third both outings since, shaping as if ready for this step up to 1m at Goodwood last weekend; respected off the same mark.

Having just his third start for Ed Bethell when posting a career best to make all at Redcar (1m, good to firm) ten days ago; responded well to fend off a couple of challengers and he ought to remain competitive up 2lb.

Slow ground would be a worry (non-runner due to unsuitable good to soft here on Thursday) and he's unraced over this far; however, this front-runner has an extremely solid record in 1m handicaps here and was a Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m) last July; capable of bold bid if conditions suit.
