Four wins for Tim Easterby, all on good and two of them last season (6f/7f); 25,000gns buy in October and well beaten at Salisbury on good to soft on return five weeks ago for Ben Pauling; has now switched to in-form Ed Dunlop and needs to be in peak form with usual cheekpieces replaced by a visor.

Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off.

Form & Verdict
12-race maiden who has had his minor honours but ended 2022 in rather subdued form and well beaten over C&D on reappearance despite a market move for him; cheekpieces (worn on four of last five starts last season) are back; interesting to see if his backers return.

Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424.

0-30 on AW but he's won four times on turf (7f); struggled during the winter but he returned to this scene with a respectable effort at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.

Form & Verdict
Made debut just last September; two 1m handicap wins on Polytrack in January and went close in hat-trick bid over 7f in February when last seen; has raced on turf just the once (good ground on second start, well held) but she is a player if AW form is transferred.

Largely consistent since beginning this year with two 1m Polytrack wins (one here) and lost out only narrowly after enduring a wide trip at Kempton three weeks ago; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
His nine races at Yarmouth were at 7f/1m, with a solitary win over this trip on good to firm last April; none too consistent in lengthy sequence on AW before he got up in the final strides at Newmarket (6f, good) three weeks ago on return to turf; up 4lb and needs another of his peak efforts.

Can race freely and sometimes front-runs; nine wins down the years and two were last June/July; 2-23 record at Yarmouth includes all three runs this year, of which her creditable second over 7f was much better than two goes at 1m; should be a player on this return to 7f.

Form & Verdict
Usually apprentice ridden, including for three AW wins last August-November; no impact since, albeit with 110 days off before he returned to turf for latest outing (C&D sixth of nine); turf mark has since been reduced by 5lb, which brings him into calculations if he's come on since that run.
