Nine-time turf winner who is well treated on his win at Catterick last spring; has been up and down since but he's finished runner-up four times this year including at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; could be dangerous in another switch of headgear.

Form & Verdict
Two big runs in defeat at Thirsk (5f, soft/good) in August in a visor before finishing down the field in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; the blinkers are retained but he failed to settle last time and this drop back in distance could be a firm plus; not ruled out.

On a career-low mark for a yard that doesn't send many here and he is worth tracking in the market; seems on the downgrade, though, and he hasn't run at beyond 5f since 2023; others make more obvious appeal.

On a 15-race losing sequence and he needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice; however, he was showing promising signs previously, when unlucky at Beverley (5f, good) then second of six at Catterick (5f, soft), and he's not discounted.

Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out.
