Form & Verdict
Bit of a mixed bag on the AW since the autumn, albeit he didn't enjoy the run of the race at Newcastle (7f) last time; this trip suits him better and he is 2-3 over C&D with both wins on good to firm; drying ground brings him right into the equation.

6yo who has thrived this season, completing a double when beating 16 rivals to win over C&D (good to soft) in June before highly creditable efforts in defeat here the last twice (1m/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); today's big-field scenario is right up his street and he's a solid contender.

Improvement is needed but this lightly raced 4yo is progressive; third in Listed race at Pontefract (1m, soft) in July then did well to finish fourth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) having been denied a clear run when making headway from the rear; could have more to offer; interesting.

Lightly raced 5yo; won twice on good to firm ground at Salisbury (7f/1m) in the summer of 2022, but ended that campaign with two quiet runs (in cheekpieces latest) and not seen since (gelded in the meantime); interesting his powerful yard is persisting with him and the market should be revealing.
