9st 2lb |
Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

Not at his best since returning from a nine-month absence, just fifth to Digital over C&D last time out; more is required from this C&D winner. |

His C&D win in February was achieved off a 10lb higher mark; out of sorts more recently though and others look safer. |

All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |

He was winning for the ninth time in his career when scoring at Kempton in February (made most); quiet on turf this summer and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

20th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Comfortable winner of a small-field nursery at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last summer but he has mixed record since; latest 6f Lingfield third (good to firm; beaten just over 4l; reopposing stablemate Irish Dessert a head back in fourth) was a bit more encouraging but he needs to build on that now. |

9st 9lb |
Picked off in the final strides in a 6f classified event at Lingfield nine days ago but dropped away to finish a remote eighth at Newcastle on Monday (tried in a hood which is left off today); needs better for today's drop back to 5f. |

Record of 0-16 but he was only just caught by the favourite in a classified event at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last Thursday; hood is now added into the mix and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 6f AW winner who is 0-16 on turf, where his better efforts have been on slow ground; AW form has tailed off recently and he looks in need of a revivial if he's to break his turf duck. |
10/1 |

Four wins on AW over 6f, including here; two solid seconds at Kempton this year and his last run there (over 7f) can be forgiven; remains favourably treated. |

Unplaced all four starts for Michael Appleby and now 0-14 overall; didn't run badly over 6f last time and is not fully exposed over 7f but others in this field have much stronger claims. |

12-race maiden; has bits of encouraging form and this is just his third run for Mick Appleby, but he's not proven over this far and looks opposable on balance; well beaten in his two runs with a visor for former yard and now tries cheekpieces. |

9st 1lb |
Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list. |

11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards. |
