Form & Verdict
Solid staying form of late but was caught on the hop when Matched seized the initiative on Lingfield AW 18 days ago (2m) and although a creditable runner-up he never looked like reeling him in; has 5lb turnaround for over 2l and this longer straight can see him to better effect.

Form & Verdict
Hooded all starts; showed promise in qualifying runs; again took time to settle on handicap debut over 1m6f on Chelmsford AW but he did make late headway into second, ahead of two fair types; the extra distance here is a slight concern given his free-going tendency but weighted to be involved.

4-15 for David Simcock; four runs for current yard, absent 582 days before this season's, in which he showed that significant ability remains; needs to build on those performances but going back up from the 1m5f of last two outings should suit and he continues down the weights; case can be made.

Had C&D form before missing 2023; not quite back to his previous level but he took a late second to one on the middle leg of a three-timer, at Bath (1m6f) in June, and should be involved again; versatile tactically.

Scored on AW in 2021 and 2022; missed last year but he's not been beaten far in two runs on Polytrack (1m4f/2m) this spring after a long absence; still lightly raced on turf and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Disappointing handicap debut on turf in July but was a very different proposition when upped to 2m in first-time blinkers on Lingfield AW 18 days ago, clear of Stormbreaker with a subsequent winner in fourth; may well defy a 7lb rise.

Well held in 1m4f and 1m6f turf handicaps, ultimately a one-paced seventh at Sandown when last seen in June; in theory she has something to find off her current mark but one sibling was a useful and progressive stayer on AW for this yard so improvement is on the cards.
