Form & Verdict
Dual 5f winner at Catterick this year (good to soft and good to firm) who bumped into one well ahead of his mark at Chester last week; won a 6f Hamilton novice earlier in career so no real reason to question him on this stiffer track; in the thick of it.

Form & Verdict
Multiple winner, twice over C&D; suited by good to soft or slower but broke the mould by winning on good to firm last May; well below best this year but has become very well treated and there have been signs of late that he can take advantage before long; not ruled out back at 5f.
