Form & Verdict
Some sterling efforts at about 1m in 2024, winning three (on AW, good and good to soft) and only just failing at Ripon last week; runs off the same mark down in grade but this easy 7f might not be his ideal test.

Form & Verdict
Sole win at 7f on Newcastle AW in May 2023; now 15lb lower and quite encouraging effort in first-time blinkers at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) last month, on second run for this yard, but he then ran moderately over 7f at Carlisle since; blinkers worn last twice now discarded; risky.

Course regular who's enjoying a consistent year, with a couple of wins already; is a strong traveller who won't mind going back up from 7f and this mark should be within range if the race pans out his way (usually dropped in).

Form & Verdict
Slow start to season but he had won and gone well at Musselburgh in the past and he found plenty in the closing stages there when making all off a favourable mark (7f, good) 12 days ago; back up 6lb but still well treated and yard in form.

Form & Verdict
Minor 7f and 1m promise on AW in November but he finished remote on handicap debut at York (7f) on reappearance in May and has left Ann Duffield since; open to some improvement in this easier grade but he was beaten too far at York to be confident today.
