Has gone the wrong way on turf this year; sole attempt on AW resulted in Southwell maiden win (5f); interesting back in this sphere, assuming he stays the new trip; second run for new yard.

Sole win (23 races) was an AW maiden in November 2024; way down the weights these days and although he was runner-up twice on AW (7f) in March and showed something here (5f) on penultimate start, others have to be higher up the list.

Five-race maiden who isn't particularly solid on form; finished last of four, having taken a good hold, at Brighton (7f; handicap debut) most recently; refitting of the hood may help.

Front-runner who went off too fast for his own good over the extended 7f here two weeks ago and folded, which was also the case in his two previous runs; on a handy mark if he did get any freedom up front, though stamina doubts remain over quite this far.
