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.

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).

Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022.

Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims.

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.

Gained back-to-back wins over 1m2f last summer; best effort since when close second on the turf course at Lingfield (11.5f) on reappearance, showing he retains ability aged nine; may remain competitive.

Won at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) and Sandown (1m2f, good) last summer, but he wasn't able to build on those victories in three subsequent starts; absent since October but has place claims on this reappearance.

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.

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.
