Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive last year and, having been gelded, he's won 1m2f handicaps at Redcar (good to soft) and Nottingham (heavy) in the space of eight days last month in his two runs this season; looked like winning by a fair bit further at one late stage in a four-runner race last time and this 2lb higher mark may well underestimate him.

Acts on any ground (second win was on heavy); 4-4 in 1m2f handicaps this season, last time having to wait for room before he grabbed a seven-runner race from Perfect Play at Ripon (good); none of those handicaps had more than eight runners and he's up another 5lb but he keeps finding more.

Acts on any ground; 3-3 since being gelded and upped to 1m2f, the most recent success at Haydock where he dug deep to collar a rival who dictated a steady pace; improving 3yo who commands respect upped in grade and taking on his elders for first time.

Form & Verdict
Similar form taking minor honours last August-September at Leicester (7f, good to firm), Goodwood (1m, soft) and Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); has had wind surgery since and left Ian Williams (same owner); not nearly as stoutly bred as some in this, facing a step up in trip in first-time cheekpieces on handicap/seasonal debut.

A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to.

Form & Verdict
Second at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) on reappearance; not so good in his two starts since, admittedly meeting trouble in running on his way through from the back in ten-runner race at York (1m, good to firm) last time but he did not make any dramatic late gains once in the clear; upped in trip but others are preferred.

Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark.

Enters the equation on best 7f form this year but his latest run at York, where he often goes well, was a letdown; seems to handle heavy ground, having finished close up in his sole attempt on it, but it's not necessarily a plus and he has a shade to prove now.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on firmer than good; won 1m Yarmouth novice last September; visored first time and surged back to form when good second of 11 at Doncaster (1m, good) 11 days ago, always prominent; shaped as if worth a go at 1m2f and he probably needs to find extra against today's rivals.

Won 1m Yarmouth novice on good to soft last September; no real evidence he's ahead of his mark this year, despite a somewhat luckless AW run behind Botas (1m) in August; however, his finishing hasn't been that strong over the trip on turf and AW since and looks up against it.

Bang there in three 7f novice events and improved when winning a 14-runner race at Sandown (1m, good) three weeks ago on handicap debut; settling him was an issue in that win but there's enough stamina and class in his pedigree for this trip to make appeal nevertheless; promising.

Record of 0-8 for current yard but he is nicely treated on best form and latest effort ended a spell of duck eggs, while suggesting this step back up from 1m may prove beneficial, in keeping with 2023 achievements.

Made the frame in three successive quality 1m handicaps last summer, including the Royal Hunt Cup here (good to firm); however, that campaign rather petered out and he was only midfield in the Lincoln a month ago (tried a visor); he's still dangerous to dismiss off this mark in a lower grade.

Went off the boil on his final three runs last season but made the frame three times in a row in quality 1m handicaps last summer (good to firm/soft) and he's on a handy mark on that form; perhaps a break and/or the first-time visor will prompt a revival and his stable is in excellent form.
