Form & Verdict
Placed in his first four visits to this track, but finished 5l behind stablemate Kondratiev Wave when dropped to this level for the first time here (7f, good) on Monday; no clear reason why he should turn the form around; visor returns (worn once in the autumn of 2021).

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Had two wins elsewhere since a course win last June; further good runs here back in the spring but returned from 78 days off yesterday (C&D) and, having led for much of the race, trailed in sixth of the eight runners; these classified terms are favourable.

Three-time course winner who remains consistent despite his age; recent strike-rate isn't great but he's down to 0-55 for the first time since returned to turf and Billy Loughnane is an obvious plus.

Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll.

Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted.
