Form & Verdict
0-13 last year but ran several good races, including back on AW at Newcastle last time (met trouble at a crucial stage before running on well; 5f); good record (212) over C&D; has gone well after a break in the past and he should find this being run to suit; yard going well and he's of some interest.

Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though.

He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract.

C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected.

Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York.

Form & Verdict
Ended 2024 in top form, winning over C&D in November and following up at Kempton; not quite so good twice since but this track may prove more suitable than Chelmsford; only 1lb higher than for the Kempton win and he's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Now 14lb lower than for his Ascot win in October 2023 but he's been potentially well treated for a while and hasn't managed to capitalise; this should be run to suit and he's going without headgear today; does need to bounce back from a laboured effort at Newcastle four weeks ago though.
