Form & Verdict
Responded quite well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third over 1m2f here last week and he should stay this longer trip given it's unlikely to be a real test of stamina; minor claims.

All eight Flat wins have been on the AW, though he's won twice over hurdles at up to 2m4f; very capable at the right level but this isn't it; faces a mammoth task on all the figures.

Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf.

Disappointing he's yet to win but he was third (1m3f; came from further back than winner and runner-up) and second (1m4f; carried left and ended up well away from winner) off this mark at Southwell last month and this; turn is near.

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.

Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable.

A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip.

Steadily progressive for Andrew Balding before one disappointment; no show on hurdling debut for Rebecca Menzies last month but she'd changed hands for 30,000gns previously and should get back on track at some stage.
