Form & Verdict
Sprint handicapper with a useful strike-rate, and his Pontefract win (5f, good) in April was his fourth from just 11 attempts; stretched by 7f at Newmarket when last seen seven weeks ago; rain won't hurt and his rider takes off a handy 3lb.

Began the year with a pair of impressive 5f handicap wins on AW (here and at Southwell) and he didn't have ideal track position when finishing in midfield in a Naas Listed event in April; too bad to be true at York last time; equally effective at 5f and 6f; remains of interest.

Two Stewards' Cups and a host of other big-race wins on his CV, including over C&D; down to his lowest mark in nearly four years and should step up on what we've seen from him so far in 2024.

Runner-up twice in a row in Bahrain (6f, good/good to firm) in January; this 9yo hasn't shone on his three starts since and his losing sequence goes back to September 2023, but perhaps the drop back in grade will trigger a revival for this C&D winner; not ruled out.

9yo whose last win was in September 2023 and it's possible that he'll need this first outing since February; however, he won this in 2021 and showed spark when twice finishing second in Bahrain this January (6f, good/good to firm); not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Not at his best on AW on his first two starts of the season but he ran as well as he ever has when third of 16 at York's Dante meeting three weeks ago (6f, good to firm); fully effective on slower ground but the combination of 6f and rain-softened ground might just see his stamina ebb away.

On a long losing run but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and his latest Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability, surging to the front 1f out but failing to see out the stiff 7f; this easier test should suit and he can't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Into the veteran stage but won four times in a productive second half of 2024; the more rain to fall the better and today's test should be far more suitable than the fast-ground event he tackled at Doncaster on his reappearance; out of the weights and not easily recommended but he represents the stable who have won two of the last four runnings; could go well at a price.

Ran out the easy winner of a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Ripon (6f, good) on her return 18 days ago but that wasn't a strong race for the grade and she's been hiked up 7lb; rain shouldn't be an issue and she did threaten to be useful last season but this will demand another step forward.
