Form & Verdict
Has not finished closer than 7l to the winner so far but he's still unexposed and made some promising late headway into third on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) last month; that was behind two subsequent winners and he looks interesting if he can build on that.

Gained a deserved first success of the season in three-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm; from Almuhit) last month and got up close home in nine-runner race at Kempton (2m, AW) ten days ago; up 3lb to career-high mark but he's on a roll.

Has been a bit up and down since returning from a mammoth absence in April, but his second of five at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) 12 days ago was handsomly franked by the winner at Newmarket on Saturday; has won over this far and a major player.

Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that.

Form & Verdict
Won off 5lb higher over C&D (good) for David Brown last April but she has a mixed record since and was tailed off at Newcastle in her final run last year; now returns for new yard after 199 days off and she comes with risks attached; change of headgear.

Has won both his starts this season and he finished well when justifying favouritism at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last time; back up 3lb but this 5yo is as good as ever and he looks worth a try at this new trip; strongly respected in hat-trick bid.

Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises.

No win since completing a three-timer at 1m4f-2m in the autumn of 2023; however, she ran her best race of the year when going close at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has a good run in her back up in trip.

Six-race maiden but he ran his best race so far when a keeping-on second behind a major improver at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago; drops back in grade off an unchanged mark and he's open to more progress at this new trip; in the mix.

0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort.

Scored off 1lb higher at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) for Michael Bell last October but that is his sole win from 18 starts and he's finished a well-held fifth in all three runs for new yard this season; others preferred.
