Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins at Lingfield (AW) early in the year and he went down narrowly over 7f in his hat-trick bid; his three runs since were disappointing, all at 7-1 or shorter; perhaps excused latest (5f after four months off) though and he's worth a second look.

Recent soft-ground defeat easily ignored; had won both C&D starts earlier, getting an enterprising ride when beating Inaam in February before following up in March; fair effort over 7f subsequently but the return to 6f on this track can suit; Oisin Murphy up for the first time.

Very solid record at this track, so he's a place contender, but bottom line seems to be that the last of his three wins (30 races) was in April 2021.

Finished a lot closer at big odds on last three outings (over C&D on first and latest occasions) but still made little impact; trouble in running in a bunched finish did not help last time and he's considered in this unconvincing field.

Promising start for new yard when close fifth over 6f at Doncaster in June and perhaps he shouldn't be judged too harshly on his three runs since, as there were possible excuses (soft ground, badly hampered, then drawn wide); others look more solid, all the same.

Promise when second of eight in a 6f maiden at Doncaster in May on her second start; has not matched it since, over trips ranging from 5f to 7f, and although she met some trouble here 16 days ago, she wasn't doing anything in a hurry at the time; step up in trip needs to spark extra.
