Form & Verdict
Has fared best on good ground, including when he surged back to form with a 2m7f chase win on latest outing; his only Flat win was at this track two years ago and he was pipped at Bath (1m6f, good) last July; chance if this is another of his good days.

Better known as a jumper and hasn't won on the Flat since 2023; it's unclear what his latest second here amounts to as only four ran and the odds-on winner bolted up.

Latest Flat run was in 2021 but he's turned a corner in some style over fences this summer, winning three in a row over 3m2f; latest was on Sunday; never better in that sphere.

Kept on well for ready success in Class 2 handicap at Bangor (3m, good) a fortnight ago and is now 4-4 over fences since cheekpieces were refitted in June; 2m5f on slower ground will also suit him; ought to be very hard to beat in current mood.

Not the force of old and has come a long way down the weights sine joining this yard in 2022; not disgraced despite finishing last of four over C&D in July and his latest fifth of eight in an amateur riders' race here (1m6f, also good; first-time cheekpieces) was a wee bit better than it looks; essentially hard to get too excited about these days, though, and it could be a quiet ride home alongside three stablemates with more obvious prospects.
