Form & Verdict

Often loses ground at the start but running respectably since winning at Newcastle in April; creditable effort at a meeting which favoured front-running last time and claims if there's plenty of pace on.

Form & Verdict

Extended run of creditable efforts at Doncaster last time, one place in front of a next-time-out winner; drawn wide, though, and record suggests he's best with good ground or softer.

Form & Verdict

Both turf wins have been at sharp courses but has won twice on stiffer Newcastle on AW; however, below best since last win and, although he didn't get best of runs at York last time, he has a bit to prove.

Picked up where she left off last year when winning on reappearance over C&D in May but below that level both runs since; drop back to 5f should suit but she'll have to better those runs.
