Form & Verdict
Reappeared with good third off this mark over C&D (good to soft) in April; mixed fortunes since but he went close over C&D (good to firm) last month and didn't run badly at Redcar last time; respected in first-time visor.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten the last twice, which is far from ideal, but he ran well as recently as May 6 when fourth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup, and this front-runner is back down to the same mark as when completing a five-timer over C&D last October; could enjoy an easy lead and is capable of making a bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Third in this last year (good) before posting two C&D wins last August (good) and he was back on the scoresheet at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month; he's gone up just 3lb for last time and can again be thereabouts if suited by conditions (his wins have come on good/good to firm).

Won over 7.5f at Beverley in June 2023 on good to firm when with Tim Easterby; bit disappointing for new yard this term, but fair run last time and on a good mark now; a possible.

Below par at Epsom last time but good second at Chester previously and his last two wins have come over C&D, in this race last year (good) and in April this season (good to soft); could bounce back with big run.
