Form & Verdict
Good record at this time of year down the seasons and has won on firm ground here in the past; a long time since he won away from Brighton, however, rarely goes beyond 5f now and was a touch disappointing at Windsor on Monday.

5.5f course winner (firm) who arrives on the back of a revived 5f win at Chepstow (good to firm); up 3lb for that but has won several times from higher marks and has to be taken seriously.

Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently.

Sole win came on her only previous visit here but she hasn't always looked the most convincing and hung left when behind Secret Handsheikh at Windsor on Monday; needs to improve on that.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Patrick Chamings

C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will.

Sole win from 29 starts was at Bath (5f, good to firm) in August 2024; ran respectably in a classified event there (5.7f) two weeks ago but this looks tough on the figures and others are preferred.

Sole win over 5f here in 2024; mostly in indifferent form of late but ran better when seventh over C&D (good to firm; behind Sisters In The Sky and Coast) recently when meeting with trouble; possible contender.

Form & Verdict
Likes it here and is back on her last winning mark; not at her best over C&D last time, though, and a bigger field would have been preferable given she's usually dropped in and suited by a strong pace.
