Form & Verdict
Won last two in 2023; not much promise on his first start for 478 days when last at Southwell in January but his next outing, after a further 195-day break, looked a run to build on when fifth of eight at Haydock in July; tailed off in the Old Borough Cup back there (also 1m6f, good) 12 days ago, though; this is considerably easier but needs to prove he's retained ability.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Henrietta C Knight

Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive.

Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair.

Form & Verdict
Steady improvement in handicaps since June and she won a four-runner Ripon handicap (1m4f, good) in July; 4lb higher but was beaten only a head at Windsor (11.5f, heavy) 17 days ago; up another 2lb but her gradual progression is appealing.

A mild improver since handicapping, beating two subsequent dual winners at Ripon (1m4f, good) in July, and she finished well clear with the winner at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) last month; likely to be close up.

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected.

Form & Verdict
Made the breakthrough with a pretty convincing success at Salisbury in July before following up off 4lb higher at Leicester a fortnight later; couldn't complete the hat-trick at Beverley (also 1m4f, good to firm) 25 days ago but her dam and best sibling landed all but one of their combined nine wins in headgear and she's respected in first-time cheekpieces.

Four wins from 19 starts, the most recent success coming on the AW at Lingfield in April off a mark 2lb lower than today's; however, he was disappointing back on turf at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month and needs to bounce back; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Made the running when 1m2f handicap winner (good to firm) this year at Doncaster and Beverley; 25-1 and again set the pace when fourth of five in Listed race at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago, which was another good run but whether it's worth another 3lb rise in today's mark can be questioned.
