Form & Verdict
Yet to win over 7f but he went very close over C&D (good to firm) last August; kept on for a good second of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and firmly in calculations on the back of that.

Three course wins over 5f-6f; most recent win gained over 7f at Musselburgh last summer, although that's an easier test at the trip than this; bit more needed than in recent course starts.

Having slipped down the weights he showed more promising signs when third of nine over 7f here ten days ago; slow starts are an issue but Paul Mulrennan replaces a 7lb claimer and he's not ruled out.

Runner-up over C&D (good) on reappearance and bounced back from York flop with fair fourth at Ayr (7f, good to firm); Musselburgh form figures read 243132 (including a good run on good to soft); might not be far away.

AW form dipped the last twice; has done his winning on turf but losing spell goes back to 2023 and he refused to race when last seen in this sphere; comes with risk.

J: Tommie Jakes

T: Linda Perratt

Losing run stands at 16 and he refused to race at Ayr last September; went desperately close over this trip at Newcastle on his penultimate start but not in the same form over C&D seven weeks ago; others appeal more for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
3yo who won over C&D (good; unraced on slower) in May and made all in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) eight days ago; did it in good style last time and looks well treated under a 6lb penalty.

Made a promising start to his career for Craig Lidster on Newcastle AW in the winter; he may have needed the run on last month's stable debut there but was well beaten and a sizeable turnaround is needed; turf debut.
