Form & Verdict
Much improved after a break this year, building on a promising third at Southwell with a smooth success over this C&D (beat four last-time-out winners) two weeks ago; a 5lb rise may not prevent him following up.

Took advantage of a career-low mark to land his first win on turf at Lingfield (good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he has the ability to deal with it.

Has form on good to firm but 0-15 on grass as opposed to 5-29 on AW; short of his best on AW of late and others bring more convincing claims.

Form & Verdict
80,000gns yearling; best effort last year when just edged out in 5f novice at Haydock on second of three runs; has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's bred to make a useful sprinter and may well improve markedly in his second season; worth monitoring in the market on AW/handicap debut.

Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months.

Second of two wins was in April 2024 when trained by Luke Dace; has shown little in two starts for current trainer this year; first-time visor goes on but hard to recommend.

Five-race maiden; has gone close at Southwell on both outings since joining George Boughey (6f/7f; short-priced favourite each time); tends to hang under pressure but he's high on the list on form.

Form & Verdict
Has gone the wrong way since a debut win at Kempton (5f) last summer, gelded prior to a well-held fourth of five at Chelmsford (7-4 favourite) last month; now tackles a handicap for the first time and needs to get back on track; the hood, worn on both outings last year, returns today.

Has run three times since winning on debut at Kempton (5f) last August; has had issues at the start, which remains a concern, but he did well to finish a close fourth of five on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f) last Saturday and has potential if able to break better; makes Tapeta debut.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced on first three starts before landing a gamble in nursery at Southwell (6f) in December; didn't repeat the form at Kempton three weeks ago and he's 3lb out of the weights here, but was only just touched off over C&D yesterday; likely to be involved.
