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.

C&D winner; runner-up twice this year and his latest Beverley run is easily excusable as he was making headway up the rail when badly impeded inside the final furlong; dropped 1lb for his troubles; contender.

A dual 6f winner last summer; yet to add to it this summer but placed for the fourth time with second of nine in 6f Southwell handicap last month; well in the mix again for stable that has enjoyed plenty of success in this.

Only sixth at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time but placed over 5f on his other three starts this season; his three wins have come over 6f and he could have a part to play back up in trip; effective here.

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.

Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW.

Four wins in 2025, including over C&D and off this mark; made a pleasing return from 142 days off when fourth over C&D five weeks ago; can take a step forward today.

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.

7f win here in December came off a 1lb higher mark; two low-key turf runs this summer and sold for £2,500 in August; cheekpieces the headgear of choice on stable debut.

Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on.

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.

Returned from spell in UAE with two wins (6f/5f) for James Owen in spring but was sold in July then well beaten (albeit in a competitive race) for new stable at York (5.3f, good) last month; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces here; has a point to prove.
