Winning spree came to an end when second over C&D 11 days ago but it was still a fine run and he should remain competitive; this race is not sure to be run to suit though.

No win since his 2yo campaign but his third in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton in March came off a 4lb higher mark; not so good in two Class 2 events since but he might find it easier dominating in this small field and he commands plenty of respect.

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage.

The winner of three of his eight starts, including a dead-heat on his reappearance at Thirsk last month (7f, good to firm); just missed out in a blanket finish at Doncaster 12 days ago; creeping up the weights but stepping up in distance may unlock further progress.

Lightly raced 6yo who hasn't won on turf since May 2024, when dead-heating at Thirsk (7f, good to firm); down the field in two decent handicaps this season but beaten less than 6l on each occasion and takes a significant drop in grade; has to be considered.

Effective on turf but still has a better strike-rate on AW and ended his rather truncated 2025 campaign with defeats (admittedly not entirely disgraced) in major handicaps over this C&D, finishing sixth then ninth; needs to raise his game on reappearance.
