Last run: 13 days

W: 9st 12lb

4 yo Gelding

OR: 51

Form & Verdict
Has modest 1-20 strike-rate but was denied a clear run when respectable fourth (subsequently promoted to third) at Redcar (1m, good) last month and a recent 1lb drop helps; each-way claims at least.

Form & Verdict
Quite useful in his prime but hasn't won since October 2020; runner-up over 7f twice last month (claimer/handicap) but does not have a good record at this track and younger rivals have more appealing profiles.

Slow starter; won a Beverley handicap (7.5f, good to firm) in July and also ran well at that track 17 days later; never dangerous over C&D three weeks ago; chance if they go hard early and he doesn't leave himself too far back.

Form & Verdict
Belied 80-1 odds when second in Pontefract novice (1m, good to firm) last summer but was soundly beaten in her first three handicaps (1m-1m4f, all AW; blinkers/cheekpieces tried); returns from 199-day absence with first-time visor fitted; not the most obvious answer.

Lost out only by a neck on last month's stable debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) and kept on strongly for clearcut AW success ten days later; escapes a penalty for the win (albeit a 2lb rise for the earlier run has now taken effect) and is 5lb ahead of the handicapper here.
