Ran well when third off 5lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good) in June on second stable start; however, he's failed to kick on and needs something extra today; might be vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip.

Dual AW winner for George Scott and latest was at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; couple of creditable efforts on turf for current yard, but he was well held at Newmarket last time and is still 3lb higher than for his last win; others look stronger.

Uninspiring turf form last year at up to 1m; could still have potential now handicapping and the betting is worth a look.

Modest form on turf and AW, still a maiden after 11 races but his latest defeat was by a nose in a ten-runner handicap at Chester (1m4f, good); placed in five of his eight handicaps and, although he has his quirks with high head carriage, no surprise if he is in serious contention.

Unraced over this far but she's consistent and did it comfortably from the front under Harry Vigors over 1m2f at Lingfield 16 days ago; 5lb higher but she'll probably handle the track and once again be involved.

Down the field in three sprint novice/maiden runs in the second half of 2025; has had gelding and wind operations since last seen; steps up in trip for handicap debut and a tongue-tie is added, so there are a host of reasons to expect an improved showing.
