Form & Verdict
May have needed the run on last week's return to action at Ripon but he had been hugely progressive beforehand, winning four of his first seven starts out of maiden/novice company; record at Lingfield of 121; Kieran Shoemark replaces a 7lb claimer; solid claims.

Progressive 5yo who was taking his record over C&D to 3-3 when beating Melek Alreeh here 13 days ago; could have even more to offer and is one of the leading contenders off this 2lb higher mark.

Has made great strides since winning a classified event in July 2024, winning three times on Polytrack, most recently over C&D in March; hampered start at Lingfield in September before involved in a tight finish and seems likely to find another race off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Made all to win a 1m2f handicap at Yarmouth in May (good to firm); ran his best race since when second of ten at Goodwood 12 days ago; 1lb rise not ideal but he has run well over C&D in the past and he's one to consider.

Broke duck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in May 2025 and some good efforts in defeat followed later in the year; however, it's been a slow process recapturing form for new yard and was well held when second of five back at Yarmouth recently; no good thing to take advantage of a tempting mark.

Scored off 2lb lower at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June and has claims if judged on that performance but ought to have been suited by return to Polytrack when unplaced favourite at Kempton (1m4f) 18 days ago, and the forecast rain may not aid his cause here.
