0-6 on turf as opposed to 2-4 on AW so there is a question mark about this return to grass; however, he hasn't been devoid of promise on turf and reappeared with close second on AW three weeks ago; possible contender.

Off since August but didn't run at all badly on reappearance in 2022; however, a claiming win on unfavourable terms at Wolverhampton on latest outing did little for his handicap mark and he has work to do on balance of his handicap form; gelded since; first start here.

Form & Verdict
Generally disappointing since winning Thirsk maiden (7f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces in April but seemed to have turned a corner when respectable fourth in Chelmsford handicap (7f, AW; no headgear) last month; however, she was well held at Leicester on Sunday.

Form & Verdict
Has record of 1-16 but she's a generally consistent type who has not been beaten far in handicaps over C&D and at Haydock (5f) in last two starts; that form gives her each-way claims on these terms and she's respected back in a claimer.

Form & Verdict
12yo who is a prolific AW scorer and five of his last six wins have come at this track; returned to form with close second at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to back that up there last time and this is much tougher back in a claimer.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have come over 7f on AW at Lingfield; no impact as favourite when dropped to 6f there in February but there were issues with his blindfold as he left the stalls and things didn't go to plan after that; now switches to a claimer on return for new yard but he's the pick of the weights and should take some stopping if he can get back near best.
