Form & Verdict
The bare form of his debut win at Ayr (6f, good) is nothing special but he comfortably beat his 14 rivals and left the impression that dropping to 5f could suit; he needs better but is open to plenty of improvement.

J: Jack Garritty

Inconsistent during last AW season and returned from break with two low-key turf runs in June/July but this C&D suits him well and he's dangerous to ignore off career-low mark.

Inconsistent during the AW season and made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance when midfield over C&D (soft) last month; on another career-low mark today but needs that recent run to have brought him on.

J: Warren Fentiman

Two course wins as a 2yo, including a Listed success over 5f; last year's two wins came on AW but he is down in the weights ahead of this return to action and his course record means he can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on his first two starts and he improved for the step up to 6f when readily winning a novice event at Kempton in June; similar form in defeat on his last two starts (6f and 5f; with cheekpieces fitted) and he sets the standard; obvious claims.

Two wins in 2022 on AW in Britain; out of form for this yard this year though recent run here in first-time blinkers a bit more encouraging; more needed but remains unproven at this trip.

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Slow start to her career but she improved with a switch to good to firm ground when landing a Hamilton fillies' maiden in June; followed up back at the same track last month but found 6f too much of a test at York three weeks ago; dropping back in trip can help and she's a contender.

Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause.

Successful in a 6f maiden at Ayr in June (good) but his two runs since have been well short of that level (hampered latest); stiff task on these terms.

His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted.
