Never involved in the Coral Sprint Trophy over 6f at York a fortnight ago but 7f is more his trip and he's dipped to 2lb below the mark he won from on testing ground at Catterick last autumn; could bounce back with a bang for a yard which has hit a good vein of form. |

Wins have all come on turf, mainly in the summer, round more demanding courses than this over shorter trips; can miss the break and will need some luck if dropped in as usual from a wide stall in first-time headgear. |

Seven-race maiden but he's reached the frame over C&D and at Newcastle (1m) in the last two of his four handicaps; seems tactically versatile and he's in the mix on this return to Polytrack. |

His mark continues to fall but he hasn't been shaping as though he's about to take advantage; has had different headgear on his last three starts and now has first-time blinkers. |

Three 7f Polytrack wins in 2024; acts on Tapeta but it's a good few months since he was at the top of his game and his recent C&D run suggests he needs plenty more. |

Raced exclusively on turf in recent years but was an AW winner at the start of his career; has largely struggled for form in 2024 and it remains to be seen whether a return to Polytrack sparks a revival. |

Justified favouritism with half-length win over C&D (soft) two weeks ago, taking Doncaster form figures to 116431; back up 3lb but still looks competitively treated, having scored off this mark here in the spring; very solid kept to this track. |

Merely mid-division at York latest but in good form here previously (7f/6f, good to firm/soft) and his two wins have come here, the latest over C&D (soft) in April off 3lb higher; of interest under optimum conditions. |

Took well to first-time blinkers in Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) last month, opening his account at the sixth attempt; sold out of the Gosden yard for 28,000gns since and now goes handicapping for the first time; may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |
