Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 19th attempt when making all at Southwell (5f, AW) two weeks ago, dropping to the minimum trip seeming very much in his favour; real possibilities if lining up here but due to run at Redcar (7.50; 6f) on Saturday.

Form & Verdict
In and out this year but he ended a long losing run at Catterick (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago under Ryan Sexton, leading late on; will needs the breaks from stall 1 if he's ridden as patiently today but he's still well treated on old form and could follow up.

Former sprinter who's not as good now and has become inconsistent; no problem with an easy, turning 7f when winning on turf in August but this is the first time he's been 1m and his stamina will be tested over a straight course.

Got the hang of things in the second half of 2021, winning over C&D (good to firm) and at Catterick (soft); off ten months and has had wind surgery since last seen but it's not out of the question she can do better still.

Form & Verdict
Campaigned mainly over 7f/1m over the years but the drop to 5f has seen a dramatic return to form; won at Ripon three weeks ago and followed up at Windsor seven days later; up another 5lb and doesn't have Harry Davies' valuable 5lb claim this time but he still needs serious consideration.
