Form & Verdict
Landed a sixth win on Tapeta when making it 2-4 over this trip off 4lb lower last time; little room for manoeuvre off his revised mark and is currently 0-9 on Polytrack but he's reliable and should go well again under Oisin Murphy.

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed.

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Last two wins have come in the autumn, including back from a layoff on his hurdling debut last November, so the four-month break isn't an offputter; Rossa Ryan knows him well but he needs a career-best effort off this mark on just his second AW start.

Has improved with each run since returning from a break and stepping up in trip, with cheekpieces added to a tongue-tie; made all at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and a 6lb rise looks manageable; leading contender.

Pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (off tonight) and paid for it late when well behind Sax Appeal on Tapeta last time; back to a mark just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in July and should fare better.

2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat).

Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender.
