Form & Verdict
Has hinted at ability in his qualifying runs (all 6f) and it's possible he could take a step forward now handicapping up in trip; hood worn last time is left off; one to note in the betting.

Handles most ground but his two turf wins have on soft and good to soft; last success was off 1lb higher on Polytrack in January but he's been out of sorts since then and was never involved at Doncaster three weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added and he needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Came good in a Catterick nursery (7f, good to soft) in September; no match for Grey's Monument when runner-up in similar events at Haydock (7f) and York (1m) since, although that one's second in a Newbury Group 3 last weekend underlines he was up against a very well-treated rival; likely to be thereabouts.

Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here.

Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider.

Better than ever when he won five times last year and he's carried on that good work this term, scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft) in April and again over that C&D (good) a fortnight ago; that's arguably his favourite track but he's got form here too and can't be dismissed in current mood.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on first two starts (including on soft) before landing the odds at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in September; only sixth on her C&D nursery debut three weeks ago but she was bang there until inside the final 110yds; this looks slightly easier; much respected.

Made a successful return at Beverley (7f, good to soft) in April and ran well on a couple of occasions subsequently; something to prove after heavy defeats the last twice, but half-sister and dam both AW winners so not impossible she could bounce back on the new surface.

Form & Verdict
Fair form when reaching the frame in 6f/7f maiden and novice events towards the end of the summer; given an eight-week break ahead of this nursery debut; ground conditions an unknown (both turf runs on good to firm) but does rate a potential improver in handicaps.

Landed AW novice in the spring but she was still much improved when bagging career win number two in C&D nursery (good) ten days ago, with the reopposing On The Pulse back in fourth; more on her plate today off effectively 6lb higher (taking into account Adam Farragher's claim being reduced to 3lb).
