Form & Verdict
Disappointing in the main since promising debut second in February 2024 (9.4f, AW) but he returned to form with an encouraging third at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) last month, when denied a clear run; can play a leading role if backing up that performance and handling the forecast fast ground.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent sort who has won just one of his last 23 starts; however, he went close over C&D (good to firm) on his reappearance and was back on song when second at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last week; possible player.

No win since June 2024 off 15lb higher and he's never made much of an impact in his five AW races; he's still shown more than enough on turf this season to be considered, however.

Won five times last season at about 1m4f (various ground), with three of them here; flopped on first two runs this term but returned to form with close second at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; unbeaten over C&D and has plenty in her favour.

Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here.

Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier.

Form & Verdict
Made all when back on the Flat for stable debut over C&D (good) in April; had been headed but was still bang there when badly hampered inside the final furlong at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; could still have more to offer for this yard and he's firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Won here last June and consistent on the Flat since, running well in defeat here on his last three starts (two of them over C&D); can give another solid account but may again find one or more too good, unless the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) gives him a boost.
