Form & Verdict
Third of 13 at York on last summer's nursery debut and he's of serious interest if returning to that level (now 8lb lower); well held in two runs this year but they were over 7f and 1m; market useful now back sprinting.

Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though.

Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it.

All four wins have been over 6f, the most recent coming on soft ground at Ayr in June; however, she's been held in both starts since and now drops back to 5f; may be high enough in the weights for now.

She rattled off a hat-trick at 6f on good ground around this time last year and was back in the groove when scoring at Ayr (6f, soft) four weeks ago; has been put back to her career-high mark (0-2) but there's a solid chance she can defy it this time.

Not at his best on turf lately but is consistent on Tapeta (224133), the win coming by a short head off 1lb higher in a nursery over C&D last November; 5lb lower than when third of eight at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and interesting back on the AW.

Unplaced in all eight starts but he has shown promise and looked ready to exploit a reduced mark when fourth at Hamilton last month (6f, good to firm; held up and met trouble); Paul Mulrennan booked; of interest in a modest event.

First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers.
