Form & Verdict
Comfortable winner at Carlisle (1m1f, good to firm) one month ago, eight days before a rather disappointing show at this track but he bounced back to form when going close at Pontefract (1m) four days ago; ground probably okay but he's hardly ever raced over this far.

J: Jake Dickson

T: Tim Easterby

11yo who has plenty to prove on the evidence of this year's three runs; however, he's 6lb lower than when winning at Redcar last October and perhaps the return to Carlisle will trigger a revival, with his course form figures reading 4106231.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo; 5l winner at Pontefract (1m) in July, suited by coming from off a strong pace; runner-up under a penalty at Hamilton (1m1f) nine days later and is now another 4lb higher; new trip needs to prompt improvement and, including with dam a 1m4f winner, it looks like he will stay.

Favourably treated on his 1m-1m2f form last summer; however, much less appealing on 2023 efforts and chance partly depends on how well he takes to first-time headgear.

Two races last summer are his only wins in the last three years; those were his first two runs for George Boughey and he's been returned to Roger Fell since his latest start; last of eight on that run but he'd been pretty consistent before that and is well capable of being seriously involved.

Form & Verdict
Some promise for Joseph O'Brien; joined this yard for 6,500gns last July (then gelded) and only two runs since but won them both; latest was a seven-runner handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) six weeks ago in which he was favourite, led 2f out and won in clearcut style; that's his only run on turf; should stay; raised 6lb but could easily have more to give.

Reluctant to race at Doncaster three starts back; on his best behaviour when coming home 3l clear at Haydock (1m, good) next time but he was tailed off at Ascot on latest outing; had plenty of 1m2f form in 2019 and 2020; even his best form from the last two seasons does not look good enough.
