Form & Verdict
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) in April on second stable start and second of 20 at York (6f, good) in May, before respectable fifth of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good); uncharacteristically below par at York three weeks ago but not written off in view of his previous exploits.

Gained a deserved second success of 2026 (after four second placings) over C&D in September; not ideally drawn when 11th of 16 in 7f Newbury handicap last week so not out of things here.

Dug deep to justify strong market support in 6f Ripon handicap (soft; has also won on good to firm) 18 days ago; below par on his previous attempt over 7f but the way he stuck on at Ripon suggests this sort of trip could be within range.

Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player.

Form & Verdict
This C&D brought out the best in him last season with two close seconds in August (both on good to firm); returned to form with close fourth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season and he could play a leading role back here.

Placed on first two starts of the season (6f, good) and another big performance when 3l fourth of 20 at York (6f, good) last time, which was his third quick run in succession in May; can go well for bang-in-form yard.

He's won over 7f but his two July course wins came over 6f; well handicapped now and although his form seems to have slacked off since he went close over this C&D in June this is his first 7f run since; not ruled out.

In good form since returning from a break, winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May before close third at Salisbury (6f, soft); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and he could be in the shake-up.

Prominent racer; arrives on the back of a Brighton win (5.3f, good to firm) last week, form boosted by the runner-up's win on Friday; took this race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark; lots to like but the suitability of ground slower than good is still to be proven.
