Not yet off the mark but he's gone close on his last two starts and he came from well back to go close over C&D last week, the pair well clear; has every chance off the same mark.

Off the mark on AW at Newcastle (1m4f) in September 2024 on his final start for Rebecca Menzies but hasn't seriously threatened in two recent AW outings for new yard since returning from a long absence.

Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in September 2024 on his final start for Rebecca Menzies; didn't shape badly here over 1m4f on his stable debut last time having been off for 558 days; may build on that over this longer trip.

Sent off 1-3 when making it 17th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in September 2024; has since left Rebecca Menzies (same owners) and the market should reveal what is expected.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 3yo who was high in the weights when first handicapping but he's better treated now and he kept on quite well when fourth of seven at Catterick (1m4f, soft) this month; had form on Polytrack as 2yo but needs to show he can handle this surface.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Alice Haynes

He's just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last December but he returned from a break with a heavy defeat over C&D in May and was again well beaten at Ffos Las last month; a major turnaround is required.

Scored on Tapeta during the winter (1m6f) but returned from break with very disappointing run on that surface last month and switches back to turf with a point to prove; usual hood removed from headgear ensemble.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; not beaten too far when fifth of ten in 1m2f classified here in August and stamina for 1m4f never had a chance to be tested at Musselburgh since, as he was hampered when starting to move forward; likely needs more than he's shown so far, though.

Form & Verdict
Improved for the step up to 1m4f when going down narrowly at Hamilton (soft) in August but she hasn't done as well in two starts since, in cheekpieces latest (now discarded); no strong reason to expect revival back here.

Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb.

Just one win from her 28 starts and she needs to prove her stamina, but she's on a competitive mark on her Flat form last August/September and she ran pretty well over hurdles three weeks ago; trainer won this last year.
