Form & Verdict

7yo who was well held at Salisbury (1m6f) last month but that was after a creditable third on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2m) and he won at Lingfield in June; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's not ruled out back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Course winner who scored at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in April and has run well in both starts since, including a 2l second behind Cherry Cola at Yarmouth last time; needs to find something extra to turn the tables with that rival but has shaped as though this step up to 2m could suit.

Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break.

Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more.

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but she recorded her fifth Flat win when scoring at Yarmouth (1m6f) last month and backed that up with a close third over C&D (good to firm) last Thursday; that last run was behind Easy Equation but she's on same mark here and is still unexposed at 2m in this sphere; respected.

Form & Verdict
Two wins on the AW at Southwell (1m3f/1m6f) for Ian Williams in January; held his form fairly well in final three runs (1m4f-2m) for that yard but he didn't fire at Doncaster on his stable debut last week; now returns to a Class 6 event but he needs to get back near his best.

Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward.

Multiple winner and a versatile sort trip-wise; shaped as though coming to hand over 1m2f (under Bradley Furniss) at Newbury last time, a race that threw up several winners, and won't mind the step back up in distance; seems to handle most ground and is a player.

Four wins last year (1m2f-1m6f, including on turf) and this versatile sort was back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; fair efforts on last two starts (1m/1m6f) and he might not be far away.

Form & Verdict
1m2f winner (heavy) in France on his debut in June 2021 but he's 0-7 since and has finished down the field in all six runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he has plenty to prove on this step up to 2m.
