Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Thirsk on his seasonal and stable debut last month; only fifth back at Thirsk this month but the drop to 6f may have counted against him; not discounted.

Better than ever when making a winning start for the Michael Dods stable over 7f here (good) a fortnight ago; 6f winner for previous yard last autumn so the return to sprinting shouldn't be an issue; respected off just 2lb higher.

Lightly raced 5yo who went close on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last August and, after three lesser runs on AW, was back on song when 1l third at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 11 days ago; this front-runner can make another bold bid and could be bang there once more.

Won a Ripon novice in final 2yo run and he started last season with a close call in a Haydock handicap (1m, good to firm); looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and has been well held in all of them; still lightly raced but he needs to turn things around back on turf.

Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run.

Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved.

Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time.
