All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far.

Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared.

Form & Verdict
Won at Nottingham in June after a break and she bounced back to form when scoring over this C&D 12 days ago; she's just 3lb higher today and Eireann Cagney is a positive booking; player if backing up her latest effort.

Form & Verdict
His last three wins have come over 1m2f/1m3f, and his good second at Ripon last time out was at 1m3f; the drop back down to 1m isn't an obvious plus but Becky Smith is a good booking and he may make a bold bid.

3yo who wasn't at his best at Ayr last time and has won just one of his 14 starts; however, he's run some fair races in defeat this year and has dropped to a competitive mark; not discounted.

Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today.

Form & Verdict
He's regressed this year but has dropped down the weights accordingly and ran okay at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last Monday when failing to see out the trip; drops back in distance this afternoon and he went close over C&D in July 2023 on the only previous occasion he wore these blinkers; chance.

Trainer-jockey combination won this last year and this gelding is on a career-low mark (won for Brodie Hampson last June off 9lb higher); needs to bounce back from a few poor efforts, though, and may just be on the downgrade now; headgear comes off.
