Form & Verdict
Made it 16th-time lucky in a 0-50 classfied event at Bath (5f, good to firm) in July and doubled his tally when winning by a head at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) this month; just 2lb higher, but this may be an insufficient test for him and he is drawn higher than ideal.

Made all at Lingfield (5f classified) in January but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable to finishers in five subsequent runs; could be the same story here and he looks opposable back in a handicap.

Won a similar contest at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in January and his proven early speed is an asset over this C&D, but the outside stall poses a problem; cheekpieces return.

Fifth AW win came over 5f at Lingfield in January in second-time cheekpieces but backward steps since and was well beaten at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago; he's won on turf but needs to return to form in the added blinkers.

All four wins have come on the Lingfield Polytrack (5f/6f), the latest when edging out a subsequent winner 19 days ago; up 3lb, but he wasn't beaten far when fourth of ten from 6lb higher over this C&D in March so he has to make the shortlist.

Multiple AW wins; much less prolific on turf but he was running over 5f on grass for the first time since a 2024 win when getting up near the line at Bath (firm) recently under James Glennon; has an awkward draw but this track may also suit; has to be considered.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner on 2yo debut for David O'Meara and latest win came for Iain Jardine at Ayr (5f, good to firm) in June; makes his debut for another new yard after four months off having undergone wind surgery since last seen; just a suspicion that he needs a stiffer test than this on the AW now.

Far from prolific (2-40) and modest on turf the last twice, but one of his wins came over 6f here and he was only beaten a neck in his latest AW start over C&D last month; record when drawn in stall five or lower around here reads 163242 so he may be worth chancing from another favourable berth.

Poor in her first three starts this season having shown promise in one outing as a 2yo here (6f), but showed more when third of seven in a novice over C&D (125-1) three weeks ago; not sure how solid that form is, though, and likely more will be needed back in a handicap.
