Form & Verdict
Made all to win a small-field handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April off a 2lb higher mark, and made a winning debut over hurdles in November; stayed on for third in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle in March (visored first time) but looked stretched by 2m latest; this trip should be in range and he can't be ruled out.

A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear.

Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely.

Won a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh in November; did his best work late when runner-up at Redcar (1m6f, good) last month but he's lacked the pace to challenge in two starts since over this trip; visor goes back on for cheekpieces.

A veteran who is without a win since September 2023; good weights chance on last season's best but he ended the year with a modest effort; handles good ground but rarely seen on a faster surface.

Began this season with two perfectly respectable 1m6f runs last month (good/soft) and continues to edge down the weights but his last win was in 2023 and he's not the percentage call in this field.

Rallied for third of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) on seasonal debut and remains well handicapped on historical data; just no certainty to step forward, being a veteran who hasn't won since 2023.

It has been nearly two years since the last of his four wins but his two starts in 2026 have seen him finish third; conditions won't be an excuse and he's more solid than some.

No win since June 2024 off 15lb higher and he's never made much of an impact in his five AW races; he's still shown more than enough on turf this season to be considered, however.

7f AW win as a 2yo for Philip Makin; generally struggled for current stable though and steps up markedly in distance with a point to prove.

Useful bumper performer; down the field in three Flat starts (1m2f-1m4f) this year but it would be surprising if he didn't prove a different proposition now up in trip for his handicap debut.
