Form & Verdict
17-race maiden who looked a difficult ride when pulling hard here (1m2f classified) last time but he wasn't beaten far in that race, and that was after an eyecatching fourth over C&D two weeks earlier; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back in trip.

Quirky type with a patchy record but he justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month and had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m2f at Brighton (took strong hold) last time; still looks feasibly treated on that penultimate form and has claims if he can bounce back again.

Just two wins from 45 starts but she's generally reliable and was only just caught at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen in March; that form has been franked since and she's respected off 2lb higher on her return.

Both wins came over shorter trips last summer but he gave it a good shot from the front when runner-up over 1m at Kempton (Polytrack) last month; remains well handicapped off his last winning mark and he's an interesting contender.

Operating below a winning level kept mostly to 7f-1m this year; record of 033 granted 6f on turf (one place over C&D), never failing to record an RPR of at least 51, so this first assignment granted such a trip/surface combination since spring 2023 may be worth a go; blinkers added.
