Form & Verdict
Beaten under 2l in a competitive 5f handicap at York on Saturday, finding the trip on fast ground at a sharp track an insufficient test; this isn't as demanding a race but others may have more pace.

4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player.

Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade.

Just one win from 18 starts and he's finished second seven times, including his last three starts; runs off the same mark as when missing out narrowly in a 15-runner event here last week (6f, good to firm); should go well again.

Form & Verdict
Made all to win a Class 5 handicap at Nottingham last month (5f, good to soft); not so good back at that track three weeks ago, after which he was sold for £10,000; handles good to firm but turf wins have come on good or slower.

Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions.

J: Joe Leavy

T: Rachel Cook & John Bridger

Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this.

Form & Verdict
First win since 2022 when strong at the finish in a 5f handicap at Doncaster nine days ago (good ground); 5lb rise still leaves him feasibly treated and his stable is in rude health.

August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though.
