Form & Verdict
Looks well exposed as he's 0-14 since 2yo debut win; has unconvincing form this year and current mark reflects his 2022 level; well treated on best effort last summer but hard to support with confidence.

Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark in soft-ground claimer at Leicester on final run for George Boughey; poor form in three handicaps (on good/firmer) for new yard; needs a sharp revival.

J: Gina Mangan

T: John O’Shea

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer.

J: Jay Mackay

T: John O’Shea

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.

Form & Verdict
Largely in good form for current stable, notably 7f wins at this venue (comfortably on good ground) in June and Brighton (good to firm; Class 4; got up on line) last time; solid contender back down in grade.

Form & Verdict
Has got better with each start on turf this term, most recently a close second to Autumn Festival at Sandown where he wore cheekpieces; seemingly unsuited by the return to AW last time (wore visor; retained); interesting back on grass.

Slow starter is drawn on the inside; seemingly right back to form when 100-1 third over C&D last time but very much benefited from sitting off a strong pace; this may not pan out so well.

Possibly going the wrong way, having proved disappointing in two 6f handicaps since her reappearance success in Lingfield maiden (7f, AW); however, this step back up in trip may have positive effect.
