Form & Verdict
Always prominent when springing a surprise on his Nottingham debut in October (6f, soft) and he ran well in a Listed event over C&D 17 days later; well short of that level in two runs this season and needs a full revival.

Multiple wins include this race in 2023 and three over 5f in 2025 (ground ranging from good to soft); holding his form well and, although 2lb higher than a recent Musselburgh defeat by Vince L'Amour, he looks very likely to be involved back here.

Form & Verdict
Returned from gelding/wind ops to run a cracker over C&D in April, going down by just a nose; not quite at that level since (7f on first occasion) but dips into what is effectively a Class 4 today and has cheekpieces on for the first time; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Looked promising when making all in a 1m novice at Lingfield in February; hasn't made the progress that may have been expected since but he ran well in a 6f handicap at Newmarket last month, form that has been well franked since; should get a good pace to aim at today and he has untapped potential as a sprinter.

Off the mark for the year with an easy win at Nottingham last month (6f, good to firm); the handicapper has held the upper hand since then, though, and he may prove vulnerable once again.

More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here.

Well backed when making a winning debut at Thirsk last spring; he has found it tough going since but there were more positives to be gleaned from his latest close third at Chester three weeks ago (6f, good); same mark today and claims if taking a small step forward.
