4 yo Gelding

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Has won two of his last four 5f starts, an AW maiden in October, and at Windsor (good to firm) in May when winning a shade cosily; he found disappointingly little at Sandown since but is down in grade today and should have some handicapping potential still.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Christopher Mason

Progressive last year and as good as ever when third on his Ascot comeback in the spring; pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed today) last time, an effort that looks best ignored, and he's one of the likelier winners back from a short break.

C&D winner who reappeared with a creditable third of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; ran right up to his best with that bold bid and he's respected off unchanged mark; cheekpieces added.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Christopher Mason

Second of 16 in a C&D handicap last September; followed that with a good run at Haydock but he went up the weights and was well beaten at Lingfield when last seen; ran well after an absence last year but perhaps a shade high in the weights for this.

Form & Verdict
Had been winless for over nine months before his C&D success (good to soft) 16 days ago but he was having only his second turf run since an AW spell and had dropped to a good mark; overcame some diffculties there and is still well treated despite going back up 4lb; solid chance.

Front-runner who's won six times on this course, at 7f, 6f and 5f, and her latest close second of seven last week was the third time she's been beaten less than a length this year; a likely player again.

Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field.

Form & Verdict
Likes to lead but he couldn't sustain the gallop in the Windsor race won by All Ways Glamorous (5f, good to firm) in May; he fared a lot better when runner-up at Sandown (5f, good to firm) last week but he'll have to crack on, then hold on, against fellow front-runners in this race.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row last month (5f and 6f; good to firm); below best next time and although he was a fair third of seven at Thirsk last week, there's work to be done against the course specialists (well held in sole C&D start in 2023).

Multiple wins here and was having his first course run since successful in September when hampered but arriving late on the scene for a narrow success (5f, good) last month; never able to get in the picture behind Level Up here since but the likely strong pace will suit.
