Form & Verdict
11-race maiden who had become very disappointing but he returned from some time off at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and did well to finish fourth having had a wide trip; showed promise on turf last summer (good/soft) and he's a key player if backing up his latest performance.

Showed promise last summer in novice/maiden races; has tumbled down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting now back from a break, but he struggled on his four starts earlier this year; plenty to prove.

J: James Sullivan

T: Tim Easterby

Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer.

Form & Verdict
Below par more often than not this season but he went very close in a Catterick classified (7f, good) two starts ago and he's a C&D winner who is versatile ground-wise; a contender if on a going day.

Maiden who has been soundly beaten the last twice (6f/1m) and could do with settling better; however, before those he was a good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) and is not discounted.

Well suited by a left-hand turn, winning twice here over 5f last summer; promising seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) but he wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (5f, good) nine days ago; handy draw and he can't be discounted.

Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f), in a productive 2025 campaign; his near miss on 6f Catterick reappearance (good) last Wednesday suggests he's unlikely to be long in opening his account for 2026; same mark today.

Ran well when third of 15 at Redcar (7f, soft) in May and now 7lb lower; however, she's not easy to fancy on more recent evidence, unless the first-time visor prompts a revival; wore cheekpieces last time.

He's down to another career-low mark and didn't run badly when fifth of nine at Carlisle (7f, good) last time, but this 14-race maiden has had a patchy campaign and it's hard to be confident in his claims.
