Form & Verdict
Conditions are no problem but sole win was in February 2022 and he's struggled back from another absence in his two runs this year; tongue-tie is now added but he's out of the weights and needs a big turnaround.

Had Rumble B (now 2lb better off) two and a half lengths back in third when getting off the mark over hurdles over C&D last time (good; 3lb out of the handicap, tongue-tie back on) having shown very little on his three previous starts following a 531-day break; runs off 3lb higher but should be competitive again.

Point winner, who is 0-7 over hurdles but she finished a clear second in a Newcastle handicap (3m, good) in March; nudged up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the winner since and she's still unexposed at staying trips; respected.

Had two of these behind (including Passengerontheship, one of three next-time winners in the race) when second over C&D in early May (good); easy Kelso success since was the form equal of that effort, if too full of early errors for maximum comfort; career-high mark now.

Four-time point winner who's been thereabouts in a couple of his handicaps this season, most recently when second at Wetherby (2m4f, soft) on Boxing Day; not so good on his next two outings and ran poorly in a maiden on latest, so needs to stop the rot.

His last win was in December 2022 but he's turned things around after wind surgery with two placed efforts here (2m4f, good to soft/good) this spring; this step back up in trip is no problem and he should go well again.

12yo who exploited a career-low mark in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since) at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November and followed up there (3m, good to soft) in December, making all under Oscar Palmer each time; he's a player if resuming where he left off.
