Form & Verdict
Modest form at two but he's returned an improved performer, making all over C&D on his handicap debut in April and running to a similar level when placed the last twice; not ideally drawn in stall 1 and more minor money perhaps his best hope.

Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though.

Made it 3-3 since the blinkers were added when comfortably accounting for his two rivals over Brighton's extended 5f yesterday (good to firm); carries a double penalty here but he's fine on slow ground and couldn't be in better form.

Form & Verdict
Went close over 5f at Wolverhampton in March before a fair effort at Southwell on her handicap debut in April; ran up to her best when second in a Pontefract novice last week (5f, good to firm) but she will need another step forward if she's to come out on top; first run over 6f.

Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return.

Handled fast ground well enough as a 2yo but this spring's two wins have both come on heavy; 3lb rise for latest Thirsk success looks fair but he will need another step forward.

Lost second to Headshot in closing stages of 1m2f classified race won by Celebrating Ethel here (good) last month but that was still a good effort and today's shorter trip probably suits him better; now only 1lb higher than when dead-heating over C&D in May and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces.

Won twice over C&D as a 2yo and she returned from a spell in the doldrums to win a C&D handicap 11 days ago in good style; bit more on her plate under a penalty and back in a Class 5 but conditions will suit and she's a contender.

All four wins have been at sprint trips on good/good to firm; well treated on old form but she's generally struggled in last eight runs including three for new yard this season; was never travelling over 6f here on her course debut last month and has lots to prove at this new trip.

1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip.
