Form & Verdict

J: Ray Dawson

T: Henrietta C Knight

Very hit and miss across his four starts this season and well beaten at York (2m, good) last month; however, he's posted two comfortable wins in small fields this term (1m4f/2m, good/soft) and this two-time course winner is not written off with the forecast slow ground in his favour.

T: Henrietta C Knight

Only his second attempt over this far in a 31-race career came at Goodwood (soft) ten weeks ago when he came from the rear in a six-runner race to win by 5l; 6lb higher today (with more to prove if the ground is firmer than good) but new horizons as a stayer have been opened up.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Henrietta C Knight

Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive.

Form & Verdict
On a handy mark on form as recent as last October but he failed to shine over hurdles for his new yard and it was the same story back on the Flat at Chester a fortnight ago; has something to prove.

J: Toby Wynne

Won over hurdles off today's mark in 2023 and was placed on the Flat last autumn, but returned from a layoff with a heavy Flat defeat last month and he's tricky to weigh up on this first hurdling start for 603 days; tongue-tie (last used last May) is refitted.

Form & Verdict
7yo who is very lightly raced for his age; well beaten at Newbury (1m2f, soft) last month when back from another absence but he attracted market support and perhaps the ground didn't suit; well treated on his best form and William Buick is booked; interesting to see if his backers keep the faith.

Said to have been suited by the return to the AW when winning at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) last autumn and duly bounced back from three ordinary turf efforts there in October; only 1lb higher than for that near miss and he's a big player if he can repeat the form.

Form & Verdict
Built upon his previous promise when upped in trip and a close second of 14 on recent handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good); there's every chance he'll stay this longer distance and he holds strong claims.

Close third over C&D in May since when he's been up against it in Class 2s won by a Group horse and then the John Smith's Cup, in which he ran perfectly well for a 66-1 chance; very capable of a big show, though the cheekpieces are new and so too is Donagh Murphy claiming 7lb.

Failed to figure from the widest draw behind Respond at Chester (went well there previously) on reappearance but a close third of six when favourite at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; with a good soft-ground record too, he could be a major player.
