Used to make all but has become tactically versatile; all four wins have been at Chelmsford where he ran well from a wide draw 11 days ago; 0-6 on the AW here but three times a runner-up and much respected from stall 1.

Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall.

Has bundles of early speed and she used it to good effect at both Kempton (6f) and York (5f) in the first half of the season; ran better than the 5l defeat suggests behind Shagraan at Beverley last time but, even so, it appeared to highlight her limitations at this level.

Has progressed with virtually every run since joining her current yard in 2023, winning five handicaps; her latest success at York in May was a personal best by some way and showed she's at least as effective at 5f as 6f; in much deeper here but she still looks unexposed and could have a say.

Multiple winner, six of them at this track, and he's 1lb lower than for the latest of them (6f, Kempton in March); drop into Class 6 company in his favour and he's likely to step up on recent efforts.

Off the mark (11th attempt) when overcoming a wide draw at Kempton (7f classified) in February and he returned from a break with a close third at Chester (7.6f, good) last Friday; that was a bold bid from the front and he's a key player on this drop back in trip and grade.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his three runs, getting off the mark with a front-running win in a 6f novice at Redcar last month; that form is not the easiest to assess with confidence but the Topspeed figure was solid and the time was just 0.71s slower than the preceding 0-80 handicap; unexposed as a sprinter and he makes his handicap debut at a low level; interesting.
