Five C&D wins on a range of ground; only fifth of six in two 1m rune here this season but returning to this trip should be in his favour and he's feasibly treated; cheekpieces worn for last three wins remain absent.

Form & Verdict
Failed to get home over 1m last time; justified favouritism over C&D (good to firm) earlier in August, taking his 7f record to 331, and the runner-up gives that form a solid look; respected back in this scenario.

Came good at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month, on eighth run, and did very well to go close on soft ground there ten days ago, having been badly hampered; back in action before 1lb rise takes effect; likely contender.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Ran well in AW maiden on final 2yo start; has come up short in Class 5 handicaps in 2024 but this drop in grade, combined with reduced mark, may prompt a bigger effort; market support should be heeded.

Regressive maiden who offered little hope, back from a break, when last of six and well behind Dark Sun last time; would be a surprise winner.

Regressive maiden who finished behind Mammy on the AW early in the year and who's been off for more than four months having been said to have run flat latterly; not obviously fancied.

Maiden who has form figures of 642 (over 7f) for new yard, good effort here most recently; possibilities off same mark, provided he's as effective back at 1m.

Form & Verdict
Went very close in classified event over C&D (good to firm) in June; has failed to repeat that form since and latest defeat took record to 0-23; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Two wins and two seconds from his six visits to the track; all seven wins have come over 6f but he has run well over C&D; shouldn't be too far away once more.

His last two wins have come on Polytrack, over C&D last summer and at Kempton in January; fair fifth off this mark at Southwell nine days later; absent since but he's capable at this level.
