Form & Verdict

Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past.

All eight wins have been on good ground or slower, the most recent coming when making all over C&D (good) in June; now 6lb higher having been off since but he ran well off this mark at Bath last October.

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.

Best with positive tactics, as when leading until well inside final 1f at Goodwood in May; only tenth at Epsom on Oaks day but that was a warm race and he's had a break since; goes well on soft ground; possibilities.

J: Colin Keane

T: Heather Main

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.

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

T: Richard Fahey

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.

T: Richard Fahey

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.
