Form & Verdict
Has improved mightily since upped to 1m3f/1m4f here and although getting home only narrowly in all four wins he again won cosily 12 days ago; up 4lb; was a weak finisher in bumpers at the start of his career but is more mature now and this strong finisher is well worth a go at 2m.

J: Dougie Costello

T: Michael Herrington

Ran up a five-timer here early in the year (1m3f-today's trip), latterly off an 8lb mark; raced freely down to 1m last time and will need to settle better going right back up in distance, especially into a small field.

T: Michael Herrington

He hasn't looked back since stepping up to middle distances, winning five times here this year from 1m3f to 2m; ran right up to his best when second at Newcastle three weeks ago and still has time to do better; whether he'll have the pace to cope with the return to 1m is a moot point though.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced filly who broke her duck in 1m3f handicap here in January; unfortunate to run up against the same reviver in both runs since, over 1m4f at Newcastle (winner landed sixth handicap of the winter on Saturday), but now has to prove stamina for big step up in trip.

Following wind surgery he was a fair fourth over hurdles on his reappearance at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in September; however, he has a patchy profile nowadays and this ex-Flat performer was an early faller on his sole chase start back in April 2022.
