Form & Verdict
Four-time winner; close fifth of seven on belated reappearance at Goodwood (1m4f) and contested another better-grade handicap at Haydock 12 days ago (1m6f, good); respected class-dropper who won't mind getting back on slower ground.

Ages since he last won but has run well now and again during his losing streak and might be happier getting back on the grass; cheekpieces belatedly tried for the first time.

Winless since May 2023 but he reappeared from five months off the track with a good third of five in 2m Southwell handicap 18 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut eased 1lb.

Winless since 2023 and he signed off for last term with a below-par 14th in November Handicap at Doncaster in November; yard is going well though so no forlorn hope off a reduced mark.

Well handicapped but a habitual slow starter and the hood has failed to snap that habit; too risky.

Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again.

Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner.

Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner).

Form & Verdict
Visored the last twice; no match for the winner back in a novice last time (1m4f, good to soft) and no better than sixth in three previous handicaps (1m2f-1m6f); hard to suggest that he's well treated.

1-14 on the Flat, the win coming over about 1m3f at Yarmouth (good; fair form) in April; beaten 14l into second in a six-runner maiden hurdle at Huntingdon a month ago; likely to need more here.

Odds-on winner over nearly 1m4f at Yarmouth (good) last month and ran okay on faster ground at Leicester (both runs in a visor); he's been found a very winnable race for his hurdle debut.

Form & Verdict
Stays further than this so did well to go back-to-back in 1m2f handicaps (good to soft/good), and subsequent Epsom defeat (1m4f; first-time hood) came in a race that wasn't run to suit; respected.

Retains plenty of ability aged nine, having finished a close second in two of his three outings this term, latest at Sandown; was still capable of winning races last summer and can't be ruled out.

Eight wins divided between hurdling and the Flat; off the same mark as when narrowly beating Mrembo in this 12 months ago and returns off the same mark; penultimate run was on a par with that performance.

Form & Verdict
Rallied in the new blinkers to get off the mark at Haydock (11.5f, good; 2lb lower) but there were no excuses from the front when fifth of seven at Ascot (1m4f); that race was won by a progressive horse and he could bounce back over a new trip.

Won 11.6f and 1m6f (good to soft) handicaps last year for the Gosden yard; Flat reappearance fourth over C&D in May was respectable but two lesser displays (1m6f/1m4f) have followed; others have more pressing claims.

Won 11.6f and 1m6f handicaps last year for the Gosden yard; two heavy defeats over hurdles to start off with for current one but he was a 5l fourth of nine over 2m here in May and he was held up in a small field when never threatening at Newmarket last time (1m6f); back here, on a realistic mark, he could feature.

11.6f and 1m6f handicap winner last year for the Gosdens; soundly beaten on both attempts over hurdles for new yard but fourth of nine at 33-1 back on the Flat at Chester (2m) three weeks ago was much more like it; needs to build on that.
