Form & Verdict
Not the horse he was and losing run now up to 19; one of those more favoured by the race conditions, but nothing to suggest that dropping to 6f for the first time in two years is going to make the difference.

Recent efforts not so hot, but he did win a 0-50 classified event at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in July and is 7lb lower than when a close fourth of 12 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March; worth a second look.

Eight-race maiden whose best effort so far came in his only start on the AW when fourth of ten at Chelmsford (7f) last September; first-time visor joins the returning tongue-tie, but his last two starts have been over 1m2f/1m4f so not sure how he will handle the return to this trip.

My Genghis

J: Jack Doughty

Blinkers had a positive effect last autumn but he was held off his revised mark on Tapeta after an easy soft-ground win at Brighton; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and the switch to cheekpieces will need to help.

Form & Verdict
No win on turf since May 2021, but having been off for over a year she wasn't disgraced when sixth of seven on her return here (5f, soft) last month; likely she will come on from that and seems to handle most ground; one for the shortlist.

0-9; best effort when beaten 2l into fourth of 12 at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in May, but that well above his other performances and cheekpieces made no difference last time; unraced on ground softer than good and has enough to find.

11-race maiden who showed some ability around this time last year, including when fourth of 14 in a Doncaster handicap (7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); well held in both starts for this yard in May and although he drops to this level for the first time, he still needs a resurgence.
