Form & Verdict
Made all to win a Brighton novice last October (6f, soft; runner-up useful); retains ability this year, finishing second at Nottingham on his return and then doing best of the three that raced furthest from the stands' rail at Newmarket last time; further rain would help; needs a career best but that's not out of the question.

Fitting of blinkers and the drop back to 6f saw him run out an easy winner at Hamilton last week; won't find it as easy bossing this bigger field but he looks ahead of the handicapper despite the 6lb penalty.

6yo who has enjoyed a renaissance in 2026, winning twice (5f, AW/good) and posting a close second at Ripon (5f, good) latest; there remains mileage in his mark judged on old form and this course winner is respected.

Resumed winning ways on AW at Newcastle (5f; beating stablemate Herakles) in April; ran well from this revised mark at Pontefract (5f; third, reportedly bled from the nose) subsequently; trainer won this in 2021, 2022, and 2024, so he's one to have on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Making giant strides in handicaps this year, winning over C&D in April and this month (soft and good to firm) before an impressive 5f win at Beverley ten days ago; penalty doesn't look enough to stop him back under these conditions and Connor Planas takes off a very useful 5lb too; strong claims.

Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause.
