Form & Verdict
Realtively unexposed 4yo; won twice on the AW last year (the first over C&D) and ended the season with a fine second of 13 from a poor draw at York (5f, good to soft); interesting to see what the market says on return.

Six wins and five seconds from 17 AW runs; unplaced on turf on his last two starts and although this scenario will suit better, a few others look better handicapped.

Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.

No doubting his consistency, but winning is another matter and he has become very expensive to follow; losing run up to 36 and he can't be recommended for win purposes.

Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to.

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner who narrowly ended an 18-race losing run at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) ten days ago; 4lb penalty puts him on his previous winning mark, but he may find this company a shade warm (all ten wins in Class 5/6 company).

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win.

Appreciated the return to this trip and application of blinkers when making all over C&D 19 days ago; 4lb higher, but he remains relatively unexposed and his other win came when getting a lead; respected.

Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive.

Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye.

Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable.
