Form & Verdict
Not much wiggle room off his current mark but he's a useful sprinter on this surface and he didn't get a clear run at it when sixth over C&D last month; in a stronger race here and minor money perhaps his best hope.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer; dug deep to win a Southwell handicap in November off a 1lb lower mark (blinkers first time) and he went desperately close to rewarding strong support, despite unfavourable terms, in a conditions race back at Southwell 18 days ago; that form not the easiest to assess but the handicapper would surely have put him up given the chance and there could well be more to come from him on AW.

Talented hold-up performer; well backed when landing the corresponding race last year and he was even more impressive over 5f here in March (off 1lb higher); several good turf runs this summer, including an Ascot win, and his latest Listed fourth over C&D came in a strong race of its type for AW; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Won the 2023 Wokingham (stable debut) off 1lb lower; Group 1 placed that summer too but his 2024 campaign was underwhelming; there were flickers of promise along the way and he appeals as the type to come good again this year; has to leave a lacklustre C&D run last month behind him though.
