2-2 for Ruth Carr, winning a pair of 6f handicaps at Newcastle; 4lb higher mark to defy in his hat-trick bid and this looks a deeper race than last time; not discounted in current form though.

Made a winning stable debut for Ruth Carr when digging deep in a C&D handicap two weeks ago; that form looks solid enough and he's one to consider up just 2lb.

Not always consistent but won seven times for Iain Jardine and looks the type who could benefit from this change of scenery; no surprise should he run well for new trainer.

Finally put his head back in front at Lingfield in January, only to be disqualified for weighing in light; runner-up on his next three starts but his form dipped at Wolverhampton last month; type to bounce back quickly.

Form & Verdict
Won a division of this race 12 months ago (Cliffcake won the other) off a 12lb higher mark; back to winning ways at Wolverhampton last month but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; possible that the addition of blinkers will give him a lift though.

Won at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February and some fair efforts on AW since; he ran some okay races on turf last season but he's 9-38 on AW as opposed to just 1-16 on grass, despite having a lower mark in this sphere.

Won over 6f as a 2yo but raced over 7f+ since the start of 2024, winning an 8.6f handicap at Wolverhampton in January (cheekpieces for the first time); solid runs in defeat the last twice but the drop in distance asks a different question; stable also run Dark Side Thunder.

Only 1lb higher than for his C&D win in March; some good efforts in defeat on turf this summer and he shouldn't be judged too harshly on latest Chelmsford sixth (well backed); one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Good strike-rate and he recorded his 11th win when making all over C&D six weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time); taken on up front over 7f last time and weakened in the final furlong; easy lead unlikely here either.

Made all to win two 6f handicaps at Yarmouth last summer when trained by Chris Dwyer; sold for 18,000gns in October; has gone well fresh in the past so worth a market check on his first run for 191 days.
