Handicapped to win but he's rather been going through the motions this summer; has form at this track but over further and he may be ideally suited by more of a test. |

Has won twice since joining Mick Appleby in July and was a good second over C&D last month; only 1lb higher here but his form slumped at Newcastle last time and he needs to bounce back after that. |

Caused 28-1 surprise on soft ground at Leiester (1m4f) in the autumn but was below that form on his two AW starts in February (wore cheekpieces) and is too inconsistent to rely upon; no headgear today. |

Never getting there in time at Yarmouth latest (6f) and remains winless below 1m; on a winning mark, but may require a pace collapse. |

5th 6 (2) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

In fair form on AW around the turn of the year (over further); drop to 6f and return to turf saw him well beaten at Brighton six weeks ago; may need more of a test. |

Both wins have been at 1m on Polytrack and latest was in January 2022; had some close calls during the winter but he's been well below form in last two starts (7f/6f) and has a tough draw on this switch back to Tapeta; others preferred. |

9st 0lb |
Could be given a chance on his fourth of 13 from 7lb higher here (8.6f) in September, but hasn't built on it and is yet to be placed in 13 attempts; looks a hard ride (can hang right) and others look safer. |
16/1 |

1st Dec 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden who has come down a stone in the weights this year; has only had a few starts on the AW and this step back up in trip, with the cheekpieces back on, ought to help; considered. |
12/1 |

5th 10 (2) |
10th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Couple of respectable efforts this year, including a fifth of 14 at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month, but he's an inconsistent 11-race maiden and was tailed off at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) last time; others are more convincing. |

Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |

A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |

All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

Sole win came over 1m round Brighton; has run well in three starts here this year, including from yet another wide stall when just behind Come To Pass last time; is one of the likelier winners. |

Lightly raced filly who kicked off her handicap career with a staying-on fifth of 14 at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last Friday; that was an eyecatching effort at a big price after a break and she's open to more progress on this step back up in trip; dangerous. |

Finished third in this contest 12 months ago but is far from certain to repeat that effort; has lost his form badly since finishing second at Chepstow in June and needs to rebound. |
