Tough and dependable and richly deserved a recent 6f Newcastle win; below best since, when out of the frame for the first time since last February; the return to 1m, for the first time since 2021, looks an experiment.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Form & Verdict
Won yard debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m) before Christmas and he might well have won back there in January with a clear run (favourably treated with Landlordtothestars); can have surface and trip excuses made since but needs to respond well to blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Visored for the first time when making a winning stable debut at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) last month and, although a beaten short-price favourite, posted another solid effort under a penalty at Sandown (1m); now 2lb higher but remains fairly treated on older form.

Changed hands for 9,000gns last month and comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm), where he was odds-on in a first-time visor (retained); this C&D winner is ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and should be tough to beat.

Nine-time winner whose best effort this year came when a close-up third over C&D in May, taking his form figures at this track to 213; below his best in two starts since and has left the Newland-Insole stable (bought for 9,000gns); visor replaces blinkers for his yard debut and he's interesting.

Has won two of his last four 7f starts (this track and Newcastle) but has a mixed record over 1m and the most prominent of his recent attempts at it came off his lower turf mark; has more to prove this time.

Form & Verdict
Has run several good races over C&D this winter but the return to 7f here was ideal when he came with a wet sail to win a shade cosily last week; 3lb badly in under a penalty and has a little to find with Retraction on C&D form previously; can still be involved.

Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly.
