Only 2lb higher than for his Salisbury win (7f, good to firm) in July; held his form since and he has the assistance of a useful claimer in the saddle; each-way shout.

Hasn't really kicked on from his 7f win at Salisbury in June but has posted some fair efforts; in top hands and this lightly raced 4yo may be able to take a sizeable step forward at some stage.

Recorded his second win when scoring at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June and was a good second at Kempton next time; didn't fire at Ripon 13 days ago but that was on slow ground and he could resume his progress here; in the mix.

Has done most of her winning on AW; below par last time; only 1-19 on turf but the success came off 1lb higher on sole start at Salisbury (good to firm; June 2022); interesting back here.

Won in first-time blinkers at Salisbury (6f, soft) in June 2023 and back on the scoresheet there (6f, soft) this May; mixed form subsequently and well beaten at Epsom last time (7f, soft; no headgear), but now back below last winning mark and perhaps the first-time visor will give him a boost.
