Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced, with ten runs in five years, and although smart form for these connections in 2023 included a C&D win and a close second in the Northumberland Plate, he hasn't been eased back to that level in two starts following another absence; down in grade but questions for now.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Thomas Faulkner

Nine races overall and only three in more than three years with current connections; they include however a close second in this race in 2023; he's 4lb lower today and made a satisfactory return from 637 days off when fourth of nine at Kempton (2m, AW; Who's Glen second) three months ago; another big run on this second crack at the Plate may well be in the offing.

Form & Verdict
Won two out of three AW handicaps in 2024, coming well clear at Southwell (about 2m) last September; raised 9lb and wasn't seen again until last month, when finishing well held over an inadequate 1m4f on Newcastle AW; likely to be seen to better advantage this time.

Three runs in 1m4f maiden/novice company this summer, improving his RPR with each start; latest three-runner affair not the easiest to assess but he's likely to stay this longer trip and there should be more in the tank.

Form & Verdict
Up-and-coming stayer who was involved in a chaotic flag start in June, losing his chance, but had earlier kept on well to win at Sandown (1m6f) and he improved further when an emphatic C&D winner last week; due a hefty rise for that so likely well in under a penalty; big chance.

J: Luke Morris

Improved as he's gone up in trip; should cope if this gets tactical given he won two six-runner C&D contests in August; his run in the Mallard at Doncaster last time didn't necessarily signal that the handicapper now has his measure.

J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Improver on turf in May/June, badly hampered on his latest turf start (probably acts on soft); has hit substantially greater heights over 2m on AW since, making up plenty of ground when a close second on Newcastle AW last time; that run makes him look one of the best handicapped in this race and this 3yo could still have more improvement in him.
