Form & Verdict
Six-time winner, with five on turf and one on AW; held in fifth of seven at Hamilton last time but he ran well in a Class 4 at York in July and that was after a comfortable success at Carlisle (6f); has claims if he can recapture that form and he's versatile ground-wise.

J: Sam James

T: Grant Tuer

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f; 10-1, from a 2lb lower mark) early in the New Year, having regularly caught the eye here prior; no obvious excuses when fourth over C&D latest (14-1); others more appealing.

Came from off the pace to score at Southwell last month, his seventh success; probably still on a workable mark but his latest run was below par and his record in recent months is very mixed.

Form & Verdict
Hold-up performer who scored off 3lb lower at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in July but he's not matched that since and was beaten 11l at Southwell last time; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around back up in trip.

A four-time winner in 2025 (including over C&D) and he comes here on the back of an encouraging fifth of 11 in 6f Thirsk handicap four days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark.

Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell.
