Form & Verdict
It's a long time since he won and he's seemingly not the force of old, but off a reduced mark he returned to form when second to Gipsy Lee Rose over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago and could be thereabouts once more.

Back on the lowly mark off which he snapped a long losing run in December 2024 at Carlisle (3m2f, soft); remains to be seen what ability remains on this stable debut following 14 months out.

Won twice last season (3m/2m4f, heavy) and she bounced back from her reappearance flop to make all over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago; had just over 3l to spare from Croagh Patrick and can make another bold bid up 5lb.

Has won two of her last three races, both at Carlisle, over 3m2f in December (soft) and over 2m5f last month (soft); has gone up 9lb (4lb for latest win); should go well again although best efforts on stiff tracks (yet to win in four tries here).

Won for Sandy Thomson earlier this year on first two handicap/chase starts (2m7f/3m, soft/good to soft); however, he was only fifth at Hexham next time and was pulled up at Wetherby 18 days ago when back from a break; major turnaround required on stable debut (remains in same ownership).

Very lightly raced since completing a hat-trick as a novice chaser two seasons ago; his Sedgefield form (2m5f) this season has received a few boosts, and latest effort suggests this drop back in trip may prove ideal; enters calculations.

Point winner who is lightly raced and is one to watch in the betting on his second run back from a break; however, he was well beaten at 28-1 at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last time on his chase and handicap debut, and needs to leave that performance well behind.
