Form & Verdict
Progressive 2yo campaign featured a couple of 7f AW novice wins at Newcastle; far from solid on his form in turf handicaps this season but shapes as if this drop to 6f is worth exploring.

Below par in two AW outings this year but might have been building up his fitness and this former course scorer is starting to look well treated on the pick of last year's turf form; no shock were he to bounce back to form.

Got the better of Pilgrim at Ripon (5f, good) last April off a mark 2lb higher than today's, and he ended the season with some solid placed efforts; faded at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month on his first start for 111 days but he may well have needed it.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on AW form; 0-12 on grass but ran well (1l second to Be Proud) over C&D most recently, producing easily his best effort in this sphere; good chance provided he backs it up.

Hold-up performer who needs things to fall right but they did just that when he surged home in a good 6f handicap here three weeks ago; up 5lb but not impossibly treated on last season's best and the return to 5f won't be a negative.

Up against it on the wrong side in the Silver Cup ten days ago but he'll be happier back in a Class 4 and now on the same mark as the latest of his three course wins (6f, good to firm) in June; one to be interested in.

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance.

Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted.
