Form & Verdict
Two wins last year came over a stiff, undulating 5f, including C&D, and he's back on his last successful mark after a frustrating season; expensive to follow lately and will always need some luck given his style but he's quite capable at this lower level.

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do.

Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark.

J: Dylan Hogan

Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again.

Form & Verdict
In good form over 6f lately and is fine over a stiff 5f; not the easiest to catch right these days, winning just two of his last 29 starts, but should go well once more.

He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance.

Modest strike-rate since 2022 and his form thus far this term hasn't continued the broad consistency he showed in 2025; no certainty to take advantage of a reduced mark.

Struggled in the spring and has been absent for a few months since; all wins have come after a recent outing and, while well handicapped (10lb lower than when last successful), is some way down the pecking order.

Two 5f wins over easier courses than this in early summer, latterly off a 2lb lower mark; not as good since, last time in second-time cheekpieces (off today), and will need a career-best effort to take this.

Did well for Grace Harris in 2025 and she has continued the good work this time around, getting off the mark for the year with a game win at Bath last week (5f, good); has a penalty to shoulder but she is well drawn and should make another bold bid.
