Form & Verdict
Struggled last year, aside from a 6f win here off a similar mark in June; confirmed his liking for the course when hitting traffic and making a pleasing comeback a fortnight ago, and won't mind going back up to 7f (likely to be dropped in again from stall ten).

Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict.

Form & Verdict
Decent 2yo for Richard Hannon who proved hard to place last year before being sold for 11,000gns in October; an easy 7f looks a bare minimum after an absence and he may need more help from the handicapper yet.

Form & Verdict
Best suited by an easy, turning 7f, so has that in his favour, but he struggled last year, coming 16lb down the weights; signs of life latterly, though, and is potentially well handicapped if wind surgery since last seen seven months ago has helped.

Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain.
