Form & Verdict
Off the mark for the season when making all at Catterick in May (5f, soft); similar form when second back at Catterick two weeks ago; creeping up the weights but he has been rated a fair bit higher in the past; Oisin Murphy booked; major player.

Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Paul Midgley

The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations.

Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark.

Five-time AW winner but 0-10 on turf; ran a bit better than the numbers suggest when sixth of ten here (6f) in May when not ideally drawn; others more appealing all the same.

Multiple AW wins; much less prolific on turf but he was running over 5f on grass for the first time since a 2024 win when getting up near the line at Bath (firm) recently under James Glennon; has an awkward draw but this track may also suit; has to be considered.

A three-time 6f AW winner in 2025 and in good nick over the winter; just as effective on turf and this quirky sort is not out of things back from a break today.

J: Kieren Fox

T: Michael Attwater

Last three wins have been over C&D and has mostly run well since the latest of those in September; beaten just over a length into fourth of ten behind Sisters In The Sky here a fortnight ago, but is capable of reversing the form if producing his best.

3 yo Gelding

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Won two of his last four starts, both in small-field 5.5f handicaps at Brighton; solid form claims but a bare 5f on quick ground will place more emphasis on speed than ideal; there is pace on here, though, and he should be finishing his race off well.

Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again.

Turned things around with a win at Pontefract (5f, good) in October but he's been back in the doldrums in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and needs another bolt from the blue.
