Form & Verdict
Rated some 21lb higher when starting out for Tim Easterby in April and he has belatedly found some form in recent weeks, most recently keeping on for second in a 5f lady amateurs event at Nottingham (heavy); return to 6f can help and he's one to consider.

Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere.

He made a slow start to the season but dropped in the weights and came good with a pair of 6f wins last month (C&D on soft latest); still on a fair mark but not ideally drawn for a prominent racer and unraced on heavy.

Verdict

It is hard to discount many in a competitive race of its type. Eldeyaar is chasing a hat-trick and still looks on a feasible mark, while Object, John Kirkup, Highjacked and course regular Langholm are also of some interest. Redrosezorro and Two Summers won divisions of this race 12 months ago, while 3yo Kitbag has had few chances on turf and handled soft going well last time. The form of MR TREVOR’s Hamilton win last month has a solid look to it though and he may be the answer in a race where he may be able to stalk the likely strong pace.[Paul Smith]
