Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
C&D winner who has reached the frame in six of his last eight runs, including a strong-finishing second behind Ledger here (8.3f, good) 12 days ago; 2lb better off with his old rival here and he looks interesting on this step back up in trip; his turf wins have come on good/good to soft.

On a long losing run (last win was at Ayr in July 2024) but he has run a few creditable races this year; has a bit to find with Royal Blaze on their C&D form last month.

Triple course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 14 months ago and he struggled here last time; on dangerous mark but he's been hard to predict this season and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Four wins (1m-1m3f) on good or slower ground last year but he's lost his way in last five starts, including two laboured efforts this season; now 3lb lower than for last success but he needs to turn things around; equipment reapplied.

Form & Verdict
Went close in a classified event at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in January but he failed to match that form when favourite there the following month; had wind surgery since but he's now 0-8 and still has something to prove on turf; others are more convincing.
