Form & Verdict
Reportedly finished sore when well beaten at Pontefract (5f, soft); this ex-Ballydoyle 4yo had been in good form for this yard and was previously a solid second at Newcastle (6f, AW); might be better over that extra furlong.

Coolmore cast-off who gained his first win for this yard when seeing off three rivals in a Windsor handicap in May (5f, good to firm); creditable effort in the Gosforth Park Cup seven weeks ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he's likely vulnerable to something lower down the weights.

Disappointing at Doncaster 12 days ago but he's capable of bouncing back from a poor run, which is what happened when he won at Windsor (5f) last month; close second over 6f here in February and not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Best form is on slower ground but handles a quick surface and he ran okay on good at York 11 days ago as he didn't get the clearest of passages; bit to find with Night On Earth on their clash at Nottingham last August but improved afterwards and this mark is very manageable.

J: George Wood

T: Roger Teal

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again).

Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering.

Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away.

Form & Verdict
Record of 6-26; made the most of his career-low mark to win at Thirsk last week (5f, good) when the first-time tongue-tie did him no harm; back up 4lb in a better race but clearly a contender.

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum.

Form & Verdict
Would have found the ground too soft at Chester when the cheekpieces returned, and even good to soft at Bath the time before wouldn't have been ideal; well handicapped on his fast-ground form of last year for Mick Appleby, which included a narrow defeat of Whenthedealinsdone; weighted to confirm those placings.

One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out.
