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.

Showed career-best form when winning readily at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and is also effective on fast ground but his subsequent efforts this spring were underwhelming; non-runner at Goodwood yesterday.

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.

Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year but was well backed last time and the booking of Billy Loughnane draws the eye with first-time visor added.

0-12 for Darryll Holland but she had two close calls over 5f in early spring, at Chelmsford and over C&D; sold for 1,000gns in July; goes without regular tongue-tie (blinkers added latest, now discarded) and entitled to need the run for new yard.

Plenty of solid efforts in defeat to go with her three C&D wins, the last of which came off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been held a couple of times since a Bath victory in May and looks weighted to her best back from a six-week break.
