Form & Verdict
Not short of ability but his wins have come on AW and slow starts are an issue, especially at a sharp 5f; down the field in a Class 3 at Hamilton on Monday; this is easier but there are still reservations.

T: David & Nicola Barron

Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off.

Form & Verdict
Two wins in 5f handicaps this summer, the latest over C&D off just 2lb lower; fine run in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell on Monday night, picked off late on by the well-handicapped winner; solid claims if turned out again quickly.

Ex-Irish 9yo; high in the weights when joining Rebecca Menzies and he struggled in useful company; having dropped 21lb in six starts he made a winning debut for Jim Goldie at Haydock last month (5f, good) and his subsequent nose second at Doncaster came in a big field; still looks well treated, has a good draw and should make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Free-going sort who got off the mark for this yard over C&D in July; back to form with a bang when making most to win at Hamilton on Monday (5f, soft); the runner-up looked unlucky there and a penalty asks a stiffer question but this 3yo is well drawn to attack.
