Form & Verdict

Can start slowly; last three wins achieved here, but at 1m2f (on ground ranging from good to firm to heavy); Aidan Keeley got a good tune out of him last time and a 4lb rise is of no real concern given how far he'd fallen in the weights.

Form & Verdict

0-16 for two previous yards and was always on the back foot last time; best turf run came on soft so any market support starting out for the Charalambous-Clutterbuck partnership should be noted; returns to 1m with a hood refitted.

Form & Verdict

Sole win from 42 starts came in 2019 and was no match for two of these over C&D latest; hopes seemingly pinned on this softer ground.
