Form & Verdict
Won his maiden over C&D but 5f has always been his best trip; has often been inclined to hang left this year and, while he's coming down the weights quickly, he's on the downgrade and hasn't won a handicap in a long time.

Form & Verdict
C&D win last September came off a 6lb lower mark; closely matched with Tinto on Thirsk running in early summer, back from two months off following a wind operation, and should do better than when bombing in first-time headgear latest.

No win since May 2025 (Thirsk) but is rated 14lb lower as a result; had every chance when fourth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; beaten over 6l) 17 days ago; more required here with Paul Mulrennan back aboard.

Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Won this last year off a 3lb lower mark in first-time cheekpieces; lacks consistency now, which is hardly surprising at his age, and below par back in headgear last time, but he's capable of winning again for in-form yard.

C&D winner (September 2022); reliable in 2026, inching ever closer; beaten a nose by the in-form Mr Cool at Redcar (6f, good; 12-1) ten days ago; small 2lb rise, coupled with less favourable low draw, enough to further frustrate?

Posted two good thirds at the start of last month (5f/5.6f, good to firm) before midfield finish in big-field Class 4 at York (6f, good to firm); the drop back in trip/grade can help and he could be in the mix.

Useful 2yo who proved tough to place last year; now 5lb lower than when winning on Tapeta last winter and an outside stall is fine for a potential front-runner, albeit his latest effort in the first-time visor (retained) will want overlooking.
