5 yo Gelding

OR: 46

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent sort who has won just one of his 26 starts and was soundly beaten at Pontefract last time; however, prior to that he went very close in a Thirsk handicap (1m, good to firm) and shouldn't be written off today.

All wins at 7f and his free-going ways leave him vulnerable at a mile; Musselburgh success in April seems a distant memory now.

Kickstarted the season with a win at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April but he's been struggling for form in recent starts and now switches back to AW (0-9) on his first start for two months.

Form & Verdict
Just one win (in April 2022) from his 37 starts and this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus, but he's run well to finish in the first three on his last four starts and there's every chance he'll be in the mix once more.

Second or third 16 times but has won just once; arrived in good form but ran poorly when last behind Little Ted over C&D 18 days ago; may well bounce back but he's proving expensive to follow; usual blinkers left off today.

Disappointing at Wolverhampton 18 days ago but reportedly had mucus in her trachea; in good form previously, including an AW handicap win in May, and she's a leading contender if back on song.

Two of last summer's three wins came over C&D (good/good to firm) and she returned to form when third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Tuesday on her second start of the season; she's on the shortlist.

Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three 7f handicaps (including here); 5lb lower than for the last of them and last month's return to action should have sharpened her up.

She lost her form last autumn but won four times during a busy 2025, two of them over C&D (good/good to firm), and a break may have helped; she's 3lb below her last winning mark and could have a big say.

Five wins on Tapeta elsewhere but has run only twice on this track; had a slow time of it in 2024 but he's well treated now and emerged from a break with a good run at Newcastle (5f; in refitted blinkers) last week; return to 6f will suit; every chance.

Won a 6f handicap here in November 2023, recording an RPR of 66 in the process; little to celebrate on turf last year but he has gone well fresh in the past and any market confidence would look significant with blinkers given another airing.
