Placed twice from eight starts at York but has not been sent here since 2022; not the force of old but way down the weights and pretty consistent this summer, including a 1m win at Haydock; saw it out well when close second at Redcar last time on a rare foray over this far, so has each-way claims.

4 yo Colt

OR: 61

Form & Verdict
Can make the running; won three on the trot at 1m-1m1f (bit more to prove over this trip) in June/July but had a declining influence in his three starts since, so others have more pressing claims.

Four handicap wins in 2024; 0-7 this year and form dipped the last twice but could rebound at this level; major contender at the weights on classified debut.

Four wins in 2024, one of them here (8.3f, good to soft); not at his best at Musselburgh 11 days ago but he's slipped to a good mark and this is uncompetitive; solid candidate.

Has finished close up when fourth/fifth the last twice (8.3f/1m2f, good to firm) and he was on the scoresheet here (1m1f, good) last July; won on good to soft ground ten days later; every chance he'll be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Excels at Pontefract, where he won for the fifth time in July and has been runner-up on both starts since, one under Thomas Easterby; however, has not finished in the first two from his five races at York.

Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights.

9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred.

Form & Verdict
9.4f AW winner in 2022 from seven races for James Horton; ran just once for him last year (well beaten) and faded into sixth of seven at Pontefract (25-1) on debut for new connections three weeks ago; could come on from that run but headgear is also turned to.

Two AW wins in the winter (1m2f/1m3f) and continued the good work when easily making all in three-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m4f, good) recently after a break; 6lb higher in a much hotter race today but this progressive 5yo comfortably dispatched an in-form rival last time and is not ruled out.

Ended 2024 in top form and he added a Southwell win (1m3f) to his tally in January; absent since and 0-6 on turf (3-7 on AW); still feasibly weighted but he'll need to be at the top of his game to take this.
