4 yo Gelding

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Sole win in 6f novice at Newcastle as 3yo; yard's handicappers often progress well but this one, despite being in good form, has yet to look ahead of his mark; not impossible he'll improve for the switch to Polytrack.

Began the year in hot form, winning 5f handicaps here and at Chelmsford; back to his last winning mark but he's barely beaten a rival on his last three runs.

Won a couple of 5f AW handicaps in January; fully effective at 6f but he needs to leave a couple of low-key runs behind him now back on turf.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Modest strike-rate but he wasn't on a bad mark on yard debut at Bath (5f) last week and he made all to win with a little up his sleeve; his best Tapeta form suggests he can make a go of it under a penalty on first Polytrack run, with this sharp 6f unlikely to be a problem.

Had to challenge wide when fourth of 11 over C&D (good to firm) in May and he went close to breaking his AW duck at Lingfield (5f) last time; has won over C&D and every chance he'll be bang there.

J: Kieren Fox

Six turf wins, three in 2025; 0-22 on AW and although having a healthy pull at the weights with Desdemona on their C&D run in February he's not looked in peak form on last two starts.

4 yo Filly

OR: 59

Form & Verdict
Has had a tremendous year and she added to earlier wins, including a C&D classified and a Wolverhampton handicap, when scuttling well clear at Chepstow (6f) last week; likely due a bigger rise than today's 5lb penalty; every chance.

T: Grace Harris

Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart.

Well suited by undulating tracks and has come back to form since undergoing wind surgery; now 3lb below her last winning mark and Harry Vigors has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company; down in class and it's hard to find any negatives.

J: Finley Marsh

A few near-misses to go with her C&D win and she bounced back last time from a string of poor efforts on her first start since undergoing wind surgery; on a fair mark if she builds on that.

Form & Verdict
Often leads; has C&D form but hasn't run on the AW since June 2023 and her recent turf efforts haven't been encouraging.
