Form & Verdict
His mark continues to fall and January's Chelmsford fifth (1m2f) was a step back in the right direction; however, he needs another today if he's to add to his sole win from back in 2022; beaten 15 times since.

2-30, his last win in a four-runner Class 5 at Southwell (1m3f; from 8lb higher) in April 2025; gave it a good go from the front, only reeled in late, at Lingfield (1m2f AW; third, 7-1) three weeks ago; Alfie Redman retains the ride.

Form & Verdict
Won at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) on March 4 on second stable start and followed up there (1m4f) six days later; outstayed when runner-up over 2m there last Tuesday and he's a leading contender in first-time cheekpieces now back down in trip.

Slightly disappointing on latest Flat start in August but scored off 3lb lower here (2m, good) in first-time visor in April and should be fine over this longer trip; ought to make his presence felt.

Versatile sort having won on turf, AW and over hurdles; 2lb lower than for his last Flat success but this trip looks sharp enough; Ruby Criscuolo rode a winner for the stable at Wolverhampton last month; yard also runs Wrist Art.

Made hay initially for this yard last March-June; pretty consistent this year but with only the one win (with first-time visor over hurdles in April) and he may again have to settle for minor honours.

6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Has a poor strike-rate and he didn't look straightforward under pressure when fourth at 100-1 over C&D a fortnight ago; however, that was still a positive performance and he might not be far away in first-time blinkers.

Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code.

Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick.

Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher.

Form & Verdict
0-8 but positive tactics were re-employed at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month and he returned to form to be beaten just a neck; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts once more.
