Form & Verdict
0-10 in handicaps since winning a Doncaster maiden (6f, heavy) in the autumn of 2022 but has run well on several occasions, as when third of seven at Leicester (6f, soft) nine days ago; should be suited by the likely conditions and each-way claims for last year's winning stable.

Slowly away and never a threat on all three starts this year, the latest last weekend; being dropped another 2lb can only help but he isn't obviously in good enough form to add to his 2024 success in this.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over C&D, the latest when exploiting a plummeting mark (good to firm) a fortnight ago; his novice win here this time last year came on a soft surface, so he has to be respected from 4lb higher.

Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months.

Form & Verdict
Course winner (5f) who ran well on his second start back when fourth of 11 over C&D (good) three weeks ago; better suited by a soft surface so with those conditions likely to prevail he has to be a player down 1lb.

Form & Verdict
May have needed the run after six months off when in midfield at Doncaster (6f, soft) nine days ago and has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark, but he does appear to need an extra furlong these days; stable also runs Amazonian Dream.

Has come a stone down the weights this year and been expensive to follow lately; this is easier than he's used to, on his Tapeta debut, as the tongue-tie comes off and blinkers go back on, and a revival wouldn't be a shock.
