Form & Verdict
He's just 1-34 on turf and has been inconsistent this season; however, he went close off this mark at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last Monday and the way he travelled suggests he'll be fine now back at 5f; respected.

Has a better strike-rate on the AW and he's won just once on turf in the last three years; however, he only just lost out over 5f at Catterick (good) in May and has a decent run in him if on song.

Six-time AW winner but not since March 2024, and his turf strike-rate is 0-28; probably worth another crack at 7f but has been out of form over sprint trips for a good while now; considered only if lively in betting.

Won six times on AW in the first part of 2024 but there hasn't been much to cheer about since; 0-27 on turf but has run well over C&D and the forecast rain won't bother him; still too much to prove for comfort.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten at Carlisle three weeks ago on final run for Rebecca Menzies but that was his third quick run in a row, which is a possible excuse; has since changed hands and he was in good form earlier last month, winning over C&D (good) two starts ago; capable of being in the mix on stable debut.

0-7 on turf and there's a suspicion 6f suits best, but he's at a stiff track today and transferred last month's good AW form (6f/5f) back to grass when runner-up off this mark at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last Tuesday; could be thereabouts.
