Form & Verdict
His two wins have come on Tapeta, once when returning to the visor from cheekpieces (which is the case here), but he's fine on turf and arrives in decent form; is one to consider off a career-low mark.

Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark.

He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit.

Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025.

Regressive for two yards since her 3yo days and didn't look to have any excuses in 0-50 classified company over C&D last time, albeit she finished a clear second; is odds-on to fluff the start and this is tougher.

Boasts a good record around this time of year and ran away with a Brighton 0-55 from the front last time; that course has always suited him well and, while he's won here, he rarely goes beyond 5f; is drawn to attack but a 10lb rise will test him.
