Regressive for Paul Midgley and expensive to follow on the AW for this yard; did respond well to the visor first going on and that's the best angle with him now tried in first-time blinkers.

Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives.

Excuses with one thing and another prior to getting it right back down to this trip at Redcar last Monday; has more potential than the rest of these and his claims are obvious, with Jack Callan's 7lb claim helping offset the 5lb penalty.

In cracking form of late, winning five times last month including once at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack); has coped well with the quick turnaround when gaining those victories and not opposed easily in his current mood, despite a welter burden under a 5lb penalty.

Win number five this season, four for Jack Callan, and a 5lb penalty for last Monday's Brighton victory (7f, soft) sees him 25lb higher than for his opening success in April; evidently well suited by switchback tracks and this is a different test but he'll be popular again.

Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade.

Hasn't run at beyond 5f since his 2yo days; is consistent enough for a horse of his ability but has only ever won once and Professor Tickle looks his yard's best chance.

Latest below-par effort was out of character and he'd been consistent previously, albeit he was turned over as favourite a few times; is well suited by switchback tracks but another furlong would have been optimal switched to cheekpieces.

Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again.
