Form & Verdict
Smart sprinter at his best but this veteran showed he still retains plenty of his old dash when second of 21 in 6f handicap at York 12 days ago; back up 4lb and winless since 2022 but he's still not taken lightly.

Smart in his prime and a multiple winner over the years but became disappointing after last season's winning reappearance and was last of 20 when back in action at York in May; needs to turn things around.

Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; understandably not the force of old but won on 2025 reappearance (off 6lb higher) and has a strong York record (6-18).

Form & Verdict
Dual 5f/6f winner last term who posted an encouraging reappearance sixth to Secret Guest at Newcastle (6f) in February; appeals as the sort to do well again in 2024 but he needs to hit the ground running here.

Hasn't the best of strike-rates (only turf win came in June 2023) but should improve on last month's sixth at Catterick (6f, good to soft) when returning from a 247-day break; acts on soft.

Won his novice after an absence, which is a plus back from nine months off, but he's regressive and hard to win with; some way down the pecking order for a yard also responsible for Pit Boss.

Over two years since his last success but he retains some ability and begins life with his new stable off a lowly mark (left Julie Camacho for £7,000 last month); others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Scored in good style at Newcastle (6f) in February and he shaped well back on turf when third of seven in 6f Thirsk handicap nine days ago, only just edged out after a tardy start; this C&D winner has a big shout off an unchanged mark.

No win since May 2025 (Thirsk) but is rated 14lb lower as a result; had every chance when fourth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; beaten over 6l) 17 days ago; more required here with Paul Mulrennan back aboard.

Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark.

Lacks consistency now and has become hard to win with; down to a career-low mark but his record here is far from exciting and he's some way down the pecking order.

Three-time 6f winner in 2023 and he made a promising return from six months off when fourth of 13 in 6f Ripon handicap last month, coming home best in his group; firmly in the picture eased 1lb.

Prolific winner who arrives seeking a hat-trick after winning back-to-back at Hamilton (both 6f, soft) last month; usually races prominently; up another 4lb but will be a big player if repeating his latest effort.

At his best over 6f on soft ground and made the most of optimum conditions here last week, making all; Rebecca Burley's claim erases the penalty and he should threaten again.

Losing run goes back to May 2025 but 6f on soft ground are his ideal conditions and he's now 9lb lower than his last winning mark; interesting.
