Form & Verdict
Placed twice from eight starts at York but has not been sent here since 2022; not the force of old but way down the weights and pretty consistent this summer, including a 1m win at Haydock; saw it out well when close second at Redcar last time on a rare foray over this far, so has each-way claims.

Hold-up performer who recorded his 13th win when landing an amateur jockeys' handicap at York (10.3f, good to soft) last month; disappointing at Doncaster last time but he lost a shoe in that race and is a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form; handles most ground but all of his turf wins have been on good or slower.

Not the force of old but came way down the weights and has had a solid campaign this summer; that includes a 1m win at Haydock and rare forays over about 1m2f on last two starts saw him go close at Redcar and win at York; just 2lb higher than at York last Sunday and has to be on the shortlist.

Consistent spell at Pontefract culminated in a good effort behind See That Storm; well beaten in competitive field at York since; chance of winning partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Form & Verdict
9.4f AW winner in 2022 from seven races for James Horton; ran just once for him last year (well beaten) and faded into sixth of seven at Pontefract (25-1) on debut for new connections three weeks ago; could come on from that run but headgear is also turned to.

Very lightly raced since winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in November 2022 and he's back on AW for the first time since today; however, he's struggled on two recent outings and others appeal more.
