Form & Verdict
Thrown in on last year's best and looks to be coming to the boil, shaping nicely when third of 11 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) nine days ago; 1-1 on this course and Benoit De La Sayette is 1-2 for the stable; big chance.

Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive.

Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade.

Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Gets weight from his elders and seemed suited by the return to 5f when a close third of ten at Newcastle (AW; successful on good to soft on turf) in June; lightly raced and in good hands so may still have untapped potential.

Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however.

Bit below par last two starts, no obvious excuses when fourth of eight at Chester two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than her last winning mark, but she'll need a revival to take advantage.

9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed.

Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable.

Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb.

Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen.

All six wins for Stuart Williams came on the AW and he's never been as good on turf; handicapped accordingly and this is easier again for his new yard but he ran below par in one previous start here.
