Form & Verdict
Runner-up on two of his six starts (including on soft) and has also run well over C&D; can give another fair account but he's looking exposed and others in this should have greater potential.

Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on.

J: Hector Crouch

Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance.

Form & Verdict
Improved for last month's debut outing at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when staying on for fourth at Lingfield (5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this half-brother to 1m 2yo Group 2 (yielding to soft) winner Deepone could appreciate today's step up in trip and he's a possible player.

Progressive 3yo who landed a good prize for Jay Mackay over C&D (good) in June and was also on target at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal from the inside stall.

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.
