Form & Verdict
Made it 2-6 on AW when scoring at Newcastle in May but he's not made a serious impact at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) and Doncaster (7f, good) since; still lightly raced on turf but he needs to find more back at this trip; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Handles most ground but his four wins have come on good to firm/firm; finished well when justifying support at Catterick (7f) in May but he couldn't land a major blow back there last week and he will need a strong pace on this return to sprinting.

Form & Verdict
Was only just caught in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month but he struggled at Newmarket last time and that was his fourth tailed-off effort from his last five starts; needs to bounce back again after that and he's untried at sprint trips.

Has yet to get his head in front (0-11) but he's finished runner-up a couple of times this season and was under 2l away when sixth at Newbury (7f) last time; this return to 6f on slower ground will be fine and he's an interesting contender.
