Won three in a row at up to 1m on turf (good/good to firm) last summer but not in the same form this season and down the field in last four runs; now 1lb lower than for latest win but major upturn in form needed.

Completed a hat-trick in nurseries last summer, the first two wins coming here (7.5f, good to firm); mixed record this year but the return to this track could pique his interest.

Unplaced all three starts so far despite attracting some support; found little after leading when well-held sixth of ten in maiden at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time; needs a leap forward.

Dual-purpose maiden; makes his handicap hurdle debut after three ordinary efforts in maiden company at 2m-2m3f; potential improver but not obviously well treated; still worth a market check.

Hasn't won since landing a three-timer in the summer of 2023; has struggled in handicaps this year but stayed on well up in trip when third of 12 in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; needs to step up back in a handicap.

Only one piece of worthwhile form since completing a turf hat-trick in the summer of 2023 and has never attempted this far before, but she drops into this company for the first time; market support would be interesting.

Best effort when third in seller at York (6f, good; blinkered) in June on final start for Karl Burke; didn't find much on debut for new stable but has a more realistic chance now tackling nurseries; stamina to prove but not ruled out.
