6 yo Gelding

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Following wind surgery he returned from some time off with a win at Catterick (7f, soft) last month; his form went the wrong way after a promising reappearance last year, and he may want slow ground, but he remains well treated back up just 3lb for last time and is not ruled out.

Ought to have been suited by the soft ground when ending last season with a below-par run but has a very good record when fresh and is now 3lb lower than when beginning his 2024 campaign with a win.

Form & Verdict
Classy 2yo in 2021 and snapped long losing sequence off reduced mark at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September; has won there twice since, most recently with plenty in hand on Sunday (7f, AW); a 5lb penalty may not stop him.

Returned to form with a win on reappearance at Newcastle on Sunday (7f, AW; won the same race last year); highly effective on turf earlier in career but failed to shine on grass last season (well beaten in this).

Not at the top of his game on final few runs last season and he lacks a recent outing; however, he ran really well first time up last term and is 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who won on last turf start at Yarmouth (6f, good) last September and has added three 7f AW wins since; however, he hasn't been at his very best on his last three runs and needs a bigger performance today.

Better strike-rate on AW than turf and well beaten in first-time blinkers at Southwell (AW) last time, but he's now back in blinkers in which he twice went close at Southwell (7f) earlier this spring; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Below par at Epsom last August on final run for Sir Mark Prescott and sold for 10,000gns in October; however, he was progressive otherwise in last season's 3yo campaign and his new trainer does well with recruits from other yards; not ruled out on stable debut; watch the betting.

Gradually worked his way back to form for new yard last season and he ended that campaign with wins over C&D (good) and at Ayr (7f, good to firm); returns after 238 days off but he still looks feasibly treated and has won when fresh in the past; interesting contender.
