Form & Verdict
Last win came off 17lb higher at Beverley (1m2f, good) in August 2022, but he hasn't been with this yard for long and there have been encouraging signs lately, as when fifth of 15 over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; drying ground would suit him even better and high on the list.

C&D winner in 2022 but his latest success came nearly two years ago; third on his first two outings this season (1m4f) and did enough to suggest he's still in form when fourth of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago; drop back in trip may not be ideal.

It has been nearly two years since the last of his four wins but his two starts in 2026 have seen him finish third; conditions won't be an excuse and he's more solid than some.

Defied a much higher mark at Beverley in 2022; poor strike-rate since but he ran encouragingly when favourite at Catterick (1m4f) on seasonal debut and has possibilities back here, being so nicely weighted.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who improved when contesting handicaps on the AW last autumn, finishing in the frame over 1m2f/1m4f and shaping as though he would get further; tongue-tie given a go back on turf and shortlisted if ready to go after eight months off.

Now 0-8 but he's knocking on the door and it was a Class 3 Racing League handicap (1m6f, good to firm) in which he was a rallying third last time in the first-time cheekpieces; much respected off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
A bit hit and miss of late but his last two wins have come from the front, the latest on his return from 139 days off at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April; similar tactics in this small field could prove effective, especially with the trip no problem; respected.

Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid.

Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday.

Dual turf winner (1m/1m2f) for Archie Watson as a 3yo; best effort on the Flat since when beaten less than a length into third of 12 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last November, but twice held in the meantime; has stamina to prove over this far.

Probably flattered by his proximity in a tactical novice chase at Cheltenham last month and has since had his limitations exposed in a Grade 2 there; however, he's back at a much more realistic level today and still has plenty of scope to progress from his convincing handicap win at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) three starts ago.

J: Niall Houlihan

Won a Class 4 handicap at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) last month on second chase start and faced tough task when creditable third of four in warm novice contest over C&D (good) last time; this 5yo may have more to offer but others have considerably more substance to their claims.

Form & Verdict
Ran with plenty of credit when third of 11 at Catterick (1m6f, good to firm) 16 days ago and conditions are likely to be similar; this level may be a bit too warm for him these days, though, and his record of 1-17 (0-11 on turf) also leaves him with a bit to prove.
