Form & Verdict
Out the back at York last time, but that was in a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was in good form before that including front-running wins at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month and over C&D (soft) in May; remains feasibly treated on those efforts and he looks interesting back in calmer waters.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Paul Midgley

Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Paul Midgley

The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations.

Form & Verdict
Won a Chelmsford novice in February in his final run for Olly Murphy; 0-10 for Ian Williams since but he's finished close up in his last four runs including a near-miss at Lingfield (6f, good) last Saturday; only 1lb higher and he should make another bold bid back in trip; reapplied blinkers replace a visor.

8yo who has gained all of his eight wins on turf and latest was a brave success from the front at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; up 4lb but he remains well handicapped on his best form last season including a C&D win; respected.

Form & Verdict
Defied this mark on handicap debut over C&D (soft) last April but he's struggled in all three subsequent runs; still lightly raced but he failed to beat a rival on his Thirsk comeback (5f, good to firm) in June and has lots to prove.

Poor strike-rate and down the field in two runs back on turf this spring; latest Catterick effort easy to forgive though as he got it wrong at the start and then saw no daylight in the home straight, finishing with running left in him; this should be run to suit and he's handicapped to go well.

Form & Verdict
Versatile ground-wise and is well treated on his best form last year, but he's had only one run this season and that was a laboured effort at Pontefract (5f, good) in June; bit to prove after another break and he needs a major revival.

Hasn't raced over 6f since the 2023 Ayr Bronze Cup; some solid 5f form this winter and, while the trip is a slight query (0-16), he was placed in a 0-85 in July 2022; today's rider knows him and is good value for his claim, especially in an apprentice race; could go well.
