Surface: Polytrack

Weather: Partly cloudy

Form: 37-2P6 D

Last run: 28 days

W: 10st 0lb

10 yo Gelding

OR: 70

Form & Verdict
Close second off this mark on reappearance over C&D in May; quickly pulled up here next time and below form in a third C&D race four weeks ago; throw in an equally inconsistent 2024 (three races) and there are clear risks.

Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation.

J: Jack Callan

T: Ian Williams

Has registered four wins, the last two over 2m on turf (good/good to firm) last summer; has generally struggled this season but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway at Ffos Las last time; was beaten only about 3l in that race and has possibilities if he can build on that; visor is removed and blinkers return.

Form & Verdict
4-12 on AW, with the first three of those wins at this track (two C&D) but they were in 2023; won at Lingfield this February and close third over C&D in May but he was tailed off in his other two Flat runs (one here) this year, which adds a cautionary note; wears headgear first time.

Relatively lightly raced 8yo who is versatile trip-wise and has record of 4-11 on AW; returned from a lengthy absence in February but he won here (1m5f) in March and bounced back from a poor run to finish third at Kempton (2m) last time; on same mark here and has claims if he can back that up; one of two runners for yard.

Form & Verdict
Asserted in good style over 1m6f at Southwell in May and moving up to 2m here in June resulted in him winning with even greater authority (7lb higher today); did not see it out so strongly when favourite at Southwell (2m, AW) on latest start but he's greatly respected on the earlier evidence.

Scored at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September but he's had only two runs this season and has been tailed off in both of them; now back on last winning mark but has plenty to prove and he's drawn out wide; tongue-tie reapplied.

Won off 1lb lower at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September, but he's had only three runs since and was tailed off on his Wolverhampton reappearance last month; has some questions to answer and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 1221 in his first four handicaps, with the first win on Tapeta; came almost from last when he arrived late on the scene to grab a ten-runner race at Sandown (upped to 1m6f, good) in June for the latter win; others' antics in the flag start probably ruined his chance at Ffos Las on latest outing and he wasn't discredited; well worth a go at 2m and no surprise if he bounces back with win number three.
