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.

All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims.

6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims.

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.

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).

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.

Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen.

All six wins for Stuart Williams came on the AW and he's never been as good on turf; handicapped accordingly and this is easier again for his new yard but he ran below par in one previous start here.
