Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip.

Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more.

J: Conor Whiteley

T: Robert Cowell

Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix.

All her three victories have come on the AW but she wasn't disgraced when third of eight in 1m Redcar handicap last month; effective at this much shorter trip so can't be discounted.

6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm).
