Form & Verdict
Had a long absence prior to his reappearance in January; there were some near misses along the way before he finally put his head back in front at Yarmouth 25 days ago, digging deep in a small-field affair (6f, good to firm); 4lb rise asks more of him but he might not have to work too hard to get the lead.

A dual C&D scorer last autumn; yet to hit top form this term but he wasn't best drawn when eighth of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap in February; possibilities from an easing mark after a break.

Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last year and was a close third at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in November; held in sixth at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on his return from a break last time, and better is needed.

Form & Verdict
Still to add to his Wolverhampton maiden win (5f) in January 2024; two good placed efforts off this mark last month and the cards will fall right for him one day.

Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark.

Competitive coming from off the pace over 6f on all five starts this year, winning in clearcut style at Wolverhampton and Southwell on last two occasions; he's now getting close to his career-best form, with more to prove on this third attempt (first on AW) at 7f but he's been finishing well.

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go.

13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival.

Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October.

Two 5f wins here last October and runner-up twice over C&D this summer; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he's feasibly weighted and he should give it another good go.

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting.
