No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood.

0-5 on turf for new stable this season; hinted at possible return to form in first-time tongue-tie two starts ago but suffered heavy defeat last time (breathing issue reported); sports cheekpieces for AW return; risky.

1-6 in 2024 for Sir Mark Prescott; not so good this year and, although beaten about only 3l on two of his last three starts, he needs to drop further in the weights unless improving on that 2025 form; tongue tied last time (upped to 1m2f) and today.

Form & Verdict
Turned over at a short price last time but that came in a messy affair and the return here will help, with his record over C&D currently reading 211; this mark should be within range granted a decent test.

Winless in his first 28 starts but now bids for a four-timer following two victories here and another in a small field at Pontefract; only 1lb higher and the return here will suit under Rossa Ryan (third ride for the yard).

Yet to fire this year and has a bit to find with Bohemian Breeze on their meeting here three weeks ago, but he is 12lb lower than when completing a hat-trick around this time last year (first two legs came over C&D); worth a second look.

J: Jack Doughty

Landed a hat-trick around this time last year, two of the wins coming over C&D including this race off 4lb higher; needs to improve plenty on recent efforts if he is to exploit this mark, though.

Form & Verdict
Regressive gelding who's been expensive to follow for two yards in the past year or so, including twice over hurdles in May; a muddling affair (AW) last time wasn't ideal but he may get more of the same here; others look stronger in any case.

Bohemian Breeze

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player.

Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis.

Form & Verdict
Won four on the AW early in the year and added another over hurdles a fortnight ago; little room for manoeuvre off this mark but his only below-par efforts in recent times came in cheekpieces and he can't be ruled out.

Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold.

Rattled off a four-timer on the AW at the start of the year including two wins over C&D; won over hurdles in June and capable of playing a part off this mark if producing his best.
