Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected.

A stout stayer over 1m and Salisbury's stiff test suited him in May (good) where he overcame trouble in running to lead near the line; has had excuses since but he has a good run in him if this is truly run.

11yo who needs to produce more than he's managed on his last three starts but he's 3lb lower than when a close third at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May and has won at Ripon seven times; went close here in August 2024 when he last wore these blinkers (which replace cheekpieces); not discounted.

6f course win as a 2yo; added a 1m handicap at Newcastle last October and there have been some near misses on AW this year too; not beaten far into fifth at Thirsk on Saturday on her return to Class 5 level; well drawn but slower than good would be a concern.
