Form & Verdict

Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance.

J: Grace McEntee

Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground.

J: Grace McEntee

Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Has a penalty for last week's Bath success (soft; previously runner-up on heavy) but had dropped to a good mark and he's back in the zone; clear claims.

8yo who has been as good as ever this spring, short-headed at Musselburgh (7f, good) then second of 14 to Crimson Spirit at Goodwood (7f, good); last season's two wins came on soft ground; effective here; respected.

Went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last time, showing he retains full ability aged eight; dual winner at Goodwood and may remain competitive; gained last three wins on soft ground.

Form & Verdict
6f AW novice winner who hasn't always had the rub of the green in handicaps and found some trouble when second at Ascot last month (5f, soft); York was disappointing 17 days ago but he's better than that.

Led late on when winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; best run since when third of ten at Leicester 11 days ago (5f, good to soft); more to prove back over 6f.

J: Cam Hardie

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.

Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Not a lot to shout about in three runs since a soft-ground win at Ripon (6f; previous success at 5f) but a change of yard might get him going again and he's still in the same ownership.

Two turf wins (in blinkers/cheekpieces) for previous yard; ran poorly, minus headgear, on debut for new stable but may rebound with visor now applied; not disgraced in sole AW attempt.
