Little to get excited about in three starts over hurdles last year, but he has won six times on the Flat including this summer; could step forward now switched to a handicap. |

0-11 but has run really well in second the last twice at Carlisle (1m, soft) and Hamilton (1m, good to soft); beaten just a nose last time when wearing a first-time visor; every chance he'll go one better today. |

Expensive to follow for this yard but he's well capable off this sort of mark and he was a good second at Carlisle 26 days ago (Arkenstaar third); new visor replaces cheekpieces this time. |

Won twice this year, over 7.5f at Beverley (soft) and 1m at Carlisle (good); heavy defeats the last twice but he has his sights lowered here with cheekpieces added. |

Two front-running wins this year (7.4f/1m, soft/good) and close third here (8.3f, good to soft) two starts ago; not quite at his best at Redcar most recently but he lost a shoe and remains of interest. |

9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here including this race last year, while he is back off the same mark as when successful back at this venue later the same month; never figured on last month's Pontefract return, but very much respected back here. |

Finished third in a division of this race last spring, off 2lb lower, before going on to win twice at his beloved Hamilton; lost his way in cheekpieces latterly and would have preferred some rain. |

Getting on for two years since his last win but he's edging down the weights and should be sharper with his Catterick reappearance behind him; could enjoy a tactical advantage in today's field. |

Not at her best in two runs for Lucinda Russell but she may have needed last month's return from a seven-month break; other pace to contend with here though. |

A dual 1m scorer in 2023 for Jim Goldie but she signed off with a poor run at Newcastle (1m) on her first run for her current yard; she needs to hit the ground running after seven months off. |
