Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner this term (April/June); respectable third on last two starts, not seen to best effect when staying on at Salisbury last month (dropped back to 1m, denied a clear passage); another bold showing looks likely returned to this venue.

Had an excellent turf season in 2024, winning four at 1m2f and 1m1f; however, he was pulled up on hurdle debut since and his AW handicap form, including over 1m at Kempton recently, falls short of what will be needed here.

Form & Verdict
Scored at Chelmsford (1m2f; his only time in a visor) last April but he's yet to hit top form in two runs this term after 14 months off, fifth of seven at Kempton (11f) on latter occasion; on a good mark but the returning visor needs to spark a revival.

Form & Verdict
Just did enough to defy a penalty at this course (1m4f) in June to make it four wins in five starts since returned to turf in May, three of those wins when ridden by Molly Gunn; back up another 4lb and back down in trip but he's thriving this summer and is hard to rule out; one of two runners for the stable.

Won twice at about this trip under Alice Bond on the AW in April and he's a dual turf winner who goes well on fast ground; 2lb below his most recent success but needs to step up on recent efforts.

Ridden last two years by Alice Bond; four wins over this sort of trip last April-September, one of them over C&D; good second in November, followed by lesser shows on his last two starts for Joseph Parr; back on his last winning mark and can't be dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Only sixth on stable debut over C&D in May but bettered that effort by some way when winning at Nottingham, (1m2f, good) in June when ridden again by Jack Doughty; doesn't look harshly treated by the 2lb rise and is likely to be in the mix again; one of two runners for the stable.

Her last win was off 1lb lower over C&D in November and she ran well when third at Chelmsford (1m2f) on Thursday; usually races prominently and she could make another bold bid from stall one.

Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo; C&D winner in June and followed up in good style in a classified over 1m here on soft ground (handles good to firm) last month; more required off 7lb higher but it's unlikely he's reached his ceiling yet; major player.

The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level.
