Form & Verdict
Still a maiden after 28 starts but stuck to his task pretty well when placed in two 1m2f Yarmouth handicaps (both good to firm) this month; effectively 3lb lower than last time here and good 3lb claimer Jack Doughty is enlisted; likely contender.

Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard.

Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022.

Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration.

Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood.

Placed in 7f AW maiden for Roger Varian in 2023; misssed his 3yo season and has has been soundly beaten in three handicaps for new stable this year (1m-1m2f; blinkered on second occasion) but is still worth keeping an eye on in the betting; cheekpieces tried today.

Regressive maiden who hasn't looked to see it out in a few previous tries at this trip, including over C&D this time last year; back in form here last time and this looks weaker again, given a second try in cheekpieces (in place of blinkers); stamina the question.

Blinkered when he hit a run of second spots at 7f and 1m last summer, including here (soft; acts on good to firm) in September; had previously looked unlucky on a couple of those occasions and the blinkers were absent when never figuring at Lingfield ten days ago; might do better with that aid now refitted and he's dangerously handicapped; watch the market.

Ended last season with a soft-ground win at Yarmouth and will be fine on the quicker surface here but dropped out of contention very tamely when back in action this month and needs that outing to have brought him on.

1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting.

Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out.

Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm.
