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.

Won over a similar trip at Ripon in July and, although best efforts since have been on AW, he may find one or two too good in refitted cheekpieces.

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.

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.

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.
