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.

Won this race in 2022 as a 5yo; no sign of his enthusiasm waning this year, winning three 6f handicaps, and stepping back up in trip will suit after two good 5f efforts last month; chance.

Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark.

6lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to soft) on last summer's stable debut, but has mainly struggled since and was tailed off here last time.

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.

Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f.

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.

Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable.
