Both 2026 wins were 5f (soft/good) and decisively on top from Hypnotised at Sandown in July for latest; below form behind that rival at Newbury (good to firm) latest start but has bounced back before; one to consider.

Both 2026 wins were 5f and he was decisively on top at Sandown (good ground) 17 days ago; that was a personal best and he's in the mix, although significantly worse off at the weights with Sandown runner-up Hypnotised.

Kicked off with two good runs at Beverley and than contested the Albany which was predictably a struggle; however, her nursery debut at Haydock (6f) was thoroughly underwhelming and she now has to turn things around.

Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip.

Not at her best in a Class 3 at Windsor last month but that was 6f and this drop back in trip should help; wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off this mark though.
