Form & Verdict
Placed efforts at Wetherby and Haydock, both in more competitive handicaps than this, read well enough; not quite as good last time but the pace didn't hold up over a stiffer 1m2f that day and he's one to consider.

Patchy for Michael Dods last year before being sold for 4,000gns; stays further and wants a good test at this trip; solid comeback from six months off over C&D (soft) nine days ago and he is entitled to improve.

Related to numerous winners, including the yard's Selenachorus, who improved once handicapping over middle-distances as a 3yo; not achieved much as yet but market confidence would bring her firmly into the equation in a weak race.

Goes beyond 7f for the first time and stamina isn't assured on pedigree; hard to know the worth of her latest small-field fifth too and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market.

Two good runs since the visor went on last month, finishing second at Chelmsford before justifying favouritism in good style at Newcastle two weeks ago; up 4lb in a better race but on the right path now.

Form & Verdict
Took off in front on Tapeta last time (7f) and finished lame, so that can be ignored; had previously not looked the easiest over 1m on turf (first-time visor) and he'll need to be more amenable now going up in trip and switched to cheekpieces.

Good AW effort when beaten a head for this yard in February and it was a fair third at Windsor (also 1m2f) last month; that was just his fourth turf start so maybe he can build on it.

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest effort (1m; Class 5) and his penultimate run didn't see him to best effect either; has shown promise on turf; not discounted.

Began 2026 with two good placed efforts over 1m2f at Lingfield; easy enough to strike a line through latest effort as he ended up poorly positioned in a race run at a stop-start tempo; drops in trip and steps up in class today; others appeal more.

Longstanding, regressive maiden (6f-1m4f) who's run respectably in two starts for this yard, latterly when not looking to see out 1m4f here behind an improver; wouldn't be a shock to see her make it 16th time lucky.

3yo who kept on for fair third at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second handicap start; backward step at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) ten days later but in a slowly run race; based on his penultimate run he could be suited by this stiff 1m3f; brother Candonomore is a soft-ground winner.

Five-race maiden who shaped with some promise when sticking on for third at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; Arundel second) ten days ago; didn't see daylight over 2f out that day and has the size and scope to do a good deal better; interesting.
