Form & Verdict
Handles any ground and he got back in the groove when making all off a reduced mark at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago; back up 5lb but he remains well handicapped on old form and should make another bold bid.

C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed.

9st 1lb

J: Ray Dawson

T: Grace Harris

Turned in an excellent effort when winning the corresponding race from stall 1 (14 ran) last May, flying out of the stalls and able to get to the stands' rail after one furlong; also won at Ffos Las in July and both victories were achieved off a higher mark than today's; not at best last time but his reappearance had been encouraging; should make a bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come on Tapeta at Southwell (5f/6f); hasn't made an impact in last five runs but she caught the eye with her late headway behind So Smart (sixth of 14) at Lingfield last time; needs to build on that but she's still unexposed on turf and is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner who is 1-16 on turf but he ran well to finish a close second over C&D (good to firm) last Monday; this return to forecast slower ground is no problem and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form; cheekpieces reapplied.

Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks.

Lightly raced 4yo who has form on on good to firm and good to soft; ended last season with a Southwell win (5f, AW) and he reappeared with close second over C&D two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he's an interesting contender off an unchanged mark.
