Form & Verdict
Is having an excellent season and added to wins at Yarmouth (1m6f) and on AW with a powerful display of galloping against a Prescott improver here 12 days ago (2m, good to firm); back up 8lb but today's mark not beyond him on past form providing the return to shorter doesn't count against him.

Very well suited by 2m on Polytrack and lurks on a tempting mark but has looked out of sorts in recent months; needs to turn a corner.

Form & Verdict
Warm order for 1m6f handicap debut at Yarmouth recently (good to firm) where he made the running and ran green more or less throughout, ultimately no match for Myboymax; should be more of a racehorse this time and replacing cheekpieces with a visor could also help but is not plain sailing.

Form & Verdict
Had been in good form but below par over hurdles in July; this is a rare Flat run for him these days but he won on the AW (1m6f) and turf (1m3f) off similar marks to today's in the summer of 2019; not dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Has been running well all year and although he didn't find much on a previous attempt at 1m6f that wasn't the case when coming clear at Yarmouth 14 days ago (good to firm; tongue-tie replaced cheekpieces); up 6lb but options improved now he's shown he stays this far.

Catterick regular who was fifth of eight runners there 16 days ago when behind Morandi Second; that race wasn't run to suit and his previous effort there was better; the return of blinkers is no bad thing.

Just lost out in his first turf handicap, over 1m2f here in May (good); has run respectably over 1m4f on turf and AW since, just keeping on at the same pace behind an easy winner on the AW 20 days ago; step up in trip offers hope but this is a competitive start to staying career.
