Form & Verdict
His last win was over C&D last August off 1lb higher; that was from off the pace, whereas trying front-running again did not work out on latest outing; he's too well handicapped to be ignored.

All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces.

All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at.

Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting.

Form & Verdict
Both wins (from 25 races) were in summer 2021; nearly added a 1m win here on penultimate outing, before a flop when returned to turf on soft; he does stay at least this far but also has form in the mud, so that latest run is a bit off-putting.

Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far.

Form & Verdict
The first three of his four wins came over C&D but the latest (February 2022) was at Wolverhampton; runner-up with late bids over C&D on last two outings, beaten a nose on first occasion; firmly in the argument.

Form & Verdict
Sole win (23 races) was in July 2021; tried cheekpieces on latest outing; has since been sold out of Andrew Balding's for £13,000; 13lb lower than this time last year but he does not look the percentage call.

Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.

Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip.

Form & Verdict
4-13 at Chelmsford, where he's also had three seconds and three thirds; kept on well from the back for another close finish here last time, despite the drop back to 7f; stays 1m2f and should be bang there again.

His four wins have been from 7f-1m2f at Chelmsford, latest in February 2023; good second there in February (1m2f) but he hasn't done as well since, last twice over this trip on turf; others appeal more.
