Form & Verdict

Needs to better his recent efforts but is now 4lb lower than when going very close at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May and it's worth remembering he landed this valuable prize last season; dangerous to ignore.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Jeremy Scott

Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed.

Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting.

She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this.
