Not fully exposed at 6f; ran no race in the Great St Wilfrid consolation at Ripon four weeks ago but he's better than that and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back.

Less than straightforward but he has found his niche for this yard as a sprinter and made it 2-2 at Nottingham with a narrow success (6f, good) in May; a 3lb rise is manageable and he's one of the likelier contenders.

Form & Verdict
Just two wins from 41 starts but his last success was over C&D (August 2023) and he's finished close up in big-field events at Thirsk (heavy/soft) in both runs this season; should be in the thick of things again and he handles most ground.

All four wins have been at 5f but she was a creditable second behind Dazy Mazy over this trip at Doncaster 13 days ago; has a 6lb swing in the weights with her old rival and she should be in the mix again; has won on soft and fast ground.

Both wins have been at Chelmsford (6f, AW) and latest was a comfortable success off 5lb lower on his return last month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's 0-7 on turf and has generally struggled in this sphere; comes with risks attached back on grass.
