Form & Verdict
Only turf win was over 1m2f at Chester in July 2022 (good) and has found winning difficult since, although the majority of his runs have been on the AW; has a 5lb lower turf mark and can be excused his latest well-held fourth at Chester due to the heavy ground; possibilities.

Clearcut winner at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) last August but he's been disappointing this season, albeit failed to stay upped to 1m6f here latest; back on a good mark and down in trip/class but he's got a bit to prove at present.

Form & Verdict
Possibly needed handicap/seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May and bettered that effort when just touched off over 11.5f here (good to firm) 17 days ago; drop back in distance holds no concerns and another bold bid looks likely off 2lb higher with cheekpieces now added.

Form & Verdict
Generally reliable 5yo who has won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in two of his last three runs on the AW, including with a strong finish off only 2lb lower in April; not had many chances on turf and wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine over this trip on recent return from a break (good to firm); knows how to win and shouldn't be far away.

All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Progressing well in handicaps and gained a deserve first success under a hands and heels ride at Wolverhampton (1m) 4 days ago, ridden by Liam Wright and shaping as though he'd be well suited by this extra distance; unlikely he's reached his ceiling yet and with improvement possible over this longer trip he has to be respected, despite the quick turnaround, off he same mark.
