Four turf wins at up 2m on the Flat; now only 1lb higher than for last success (August 2023) but he was tailed off at Bath on his recent return and is 0-12 on AW; down the list.

Turf wins have come on soft/heavy but the ground was good when never dangerous from off the pace at Ffos Las (2m) last week, running well in the circumstances; looks to be running into form.

Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner.

Kept on for modest third from out of the weights in two selling handicaps in recent weeks, more recently on slower-than-ideal ground at Newton Abbot (2m2f, soft); that form isn't anything to get excited about but she's 14lb lower off her correct mark here.

Below best on final hurdles start (debut for new stable) and was having first Flat run since 2021 when tailed off at Goodwood (2m, heavy; 40-1); that testing ground was not ideal but he has plenty of questions to answer at present.
