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.

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.

J: Ryan Sexton

T: Julie Camacho

His last win was in June 2023 but that was off 12lb higher at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) and he's run several good races this season; wasn't beaten far with visor added at Southwell last time and he's in the mix back on turf.

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.
