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.

Justified favouritism in Hamilton event (6f, good to soft) last month, opening his account at 12th attempt; may remain competitive, having gone back up just 2lb.

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.

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.

Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely.

Long in the tooth now and does not have much margin for error off current mark, but was placed twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) this spring and will be suited by today's return to turf (has gained all eight wins on grass).

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.

Ideally suited by going around a left-hand bend, with his six wins coming here and at Wolverhampton; 10lb higher than for his win in this race last year and the widest draw isn't a big selling point today; cheekpieces join the hood today.

6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over C&D (good) last month; used up energy to get across to lead from a wide draw when fifth of ten over 5f here a fortnight ago and can be treated as if still in good form.

6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over 6f here (good) last month; 5f on ground slower than good also suits but he's not ideally drawn and recent 4lb rise demands even more from him.

Form & Verdict
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.
