Form & Verdict
16 races; consistent on turf this year and, following two close calls in this sphere, he deservedly got off the mark in a seven-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Tuesday; acts on good to soft; that was an apprentice contest, so he can race off the same mark today; big shout.

Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip.

Made handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f, good) in August and forced a dead-heat for first in a five-runner race; disappointing at Ffos Las (1m4f) next time, however, and also below form at Kempton (1m3f, AW) latest; 7lb claimer is recruited.

Buzzy gelding who often goes hard in front and has been tried over 1m-1m6f this year; his one win was over 11.4f here in June (1lb higher today) and he has a pretty solid record at this track but recent results everywhere look discouraging.

Recent efforts not inspiring, but she has dropped 6lb lower than when making a successful return in May last year and the booking of Simon Walker suggests connections mean business; blinkers (only used once before over hurdles in September 2021) make a return; interesting.

23-race maiden; wasn't beaten far (1.75l) when fourth to today's rival Spirit Of Ash over C&D in November, and meets that mare on improved terms if factoring in the 7lb claim of Tom Kiely-Marshall; latest effort excusable (1m6f), so isn't a forlorn hope from a career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Below form in cheekpieces (sole run in them) on penultimate start and 11th of 12 on Lingfield AW last time, albeit in a very tightly packed finish; earlier peak efforts give her a chance and, even though she's not bred for it, this move up from 1m looks worth a go.

Completed an AW hat-trick last winter, the last leg here (1m4f) in February; ran well the next twice but seemed to find 2m stretching him at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; still 5lb above his last winning mark, but this intermediate trip may suit so he makes the shortlist.
