J: Jake Dickson

T: Geoffrey Harker

Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds.

J: Oisin McSweeney

Three-time winner whose last success came over this C&D (good; possibly flattered by racing in a small breakaway group) in June; only 2lb higher but he stopped abruptly over a mile last time; may do better back at 7f.

Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck.

A fairly useful 5f/6f winner in 2025; yet to add to that in 2026 but comes here in decent nick, staying on into eighth of 21 in 5.5f York handicap 13 days ago; can go well off a 2lb lower mark here with this return to 6f also a plus.

He hasn't won yet in 2026 but he has looked to retain plenty of ability and his latest Pontefract second (6f, good to firm) was a solid effort; should appreciate this intermediate trip and he has a big run in him.

Only 4-46 but two of those wins have come in his last four races; stayed on best over 5f at Nottingham last week (good to soft) and returning to 6f if anything is a positive; Toby Moore takes over, so effectively he's 4lb lower; clear claims, especially should it get wet (fine on good).

Losing run is mounting up; however, has proved consistent in the last two months and latest effort can be marked up (met traffic issues); defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2023 and enters the reckoning.

On a long losing spell and his record for current stable is far from convincing; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time cheekpieces; 0-6 in blinkers.
