Form & Verdict
Quirky but he's 2-2 since wearing a visor, winning over 1m4f at this course (narrowly) and Wolverhampton (beat two rivals who were out of the weights); takes on some interesting rivals but has solid claims with AW record now 5222211; mark unchanged.

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted.

Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power.

Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 41122 since wearing cheekpieces, most recently 1l second to Dunstan on same terms at Wolverhampton (1m4f); takes on some possible improvers but has a solid chance in the retained headgear.

Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip.

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Has shown consistent promise at maiden/novice level and latest effort (Wolverhampton 1m4f) suggests this slight drop back in distance will suit on handicap debut; open to improvement and looks interesting.

Posted three respectable efforts at around 2m4f this spring and continues to edge down the weights, but he is not bred to benefit from this step up in trip and others in this field have more interesting profiles.

Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix.
