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.

J: Daniel Muscutt

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.

T: Michael Attwater

Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts.

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.

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.

Flexible regarding the going; had mixed results since winning at Pontefract (5f, soft) last October, but he wasn't far away after making the running at Ripon recently and is now 2lb lower than that last winning mark; probably needs a bit more.

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.
