Form & Verdict
Course winner (5f) whose losing run is up to 17 but he looked as though he would appreciate the return to this trip when fourth of nine here (5f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month (runner-up has won twice since); may not want too much rain.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who has won six times over C&D including this race four years ago and when making all (soft) 13 days ago (third won next time); 5lb higher, but there's a chance he may again be allowed his own way and he won't mind what the weather does; high on list.

Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark.

Sole win from 18 starts came at Newcastle (6f nursery) in September 2024; hasn't offered much in three runs this year (6f), so cheekpieces are added seeking a basic spark; stablemate East Tyrone is a better option.

Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces.

2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist.

Only run over 5f once, when well held over C&D two years ago, and has done most recent racing over 7f; resumed in decent form and this is easier if anything but the drop back in trip from the outside stall would have to be a worry; headgear returns.

No win in his first 23 starts but he made the breakthrough at Catterick (6f, soft) in October and followed up with a strong-finishing success over C&D; flopped back at this track in November but he had a wide trip and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate run; needs a close look back from a break.
