Form & Verdict
Course winner (6f) whose losing run is up to 21, but having dropped a long way in the weights he went down by only a neck at Brighton (1m, good) 18 days ago; back up 1lb, but still one of the main players if backing up that effort.

Ended a long losing run when scoring at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June but he was beaten a long way in his follow-up bid at Brighton (1m2f); now drops back at this trip but he's not easy to predict and has always been more potent on turf (0-9 on AW); down the list.

Has hit form lately, going down by a neck here (1m, good) in May and going one better at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month; well held in one previous attempt over this far, but recent efforts suggest he is worth another go; respected from 4lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Often makes the running and acts on any ground; return to this trip should suit after finishing fourth of 13 here (7f, soft) last month and the blinkers are back on, but he isn't prolific (2-40); another placing may be more likely.

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

J: Jay Mackay

T: John O’Shea

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.
