Form & Verdict
Got back on track on his fourth start for this yard when winning in good style at Pontefract (6f, good) in June; may have just needed the run back there on Wednesday and although he has a fair bit to find on these terms, at least he has shown some spark this year.

Placed in AW contest on reappearance and has a fighting chance provided he builds on that effort; still well treated on his two wins (handicap/claimer) last summer.

A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but he's been off since coming in last of seven in 6f seller here in October; handily weighted if resurgent after a break though.

Went close on his reappearance here in March and has since won a Pontefract handicap (6f, good) and a Wolverhampton claimer (6f, Tapeta); gave the impression a return to further may suit when fifth of nine behind Dark Kestrel over C&D last month.

Form & Verdict
Won three Class 4 handicaps on Tapeta at the start of the year including one over C&D; back to winning form at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) last month and although held at Windsor nine days later, he is very much the one to beat on these terms.

Form & Verdict
Dual turf winner in Ireland as a 2yo; seemed to handle the track well enough when second of ten here (7f) in January, but his form since then has been patchy and he faces a tall order on these terms.

Notched his first win for this trainer at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in December and again ran well there when third having been drawn wide 39 days ago; another wide draw to contend with here but he holds solid claims.

Form & Verdict
Won at Yarmouth (7f, soft) last October, but that run very much stands out compared to his other efforts since the spring of last year; appears to have a fair chance on these terms, but his mark is steadily slipping so he doesn't look a solid proposition.

Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query.

Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard.
