All four wins have been on good or slower ground and latest was at Hamilton (1m5f) in July; creditable in-frame efforts twice since (1m2f here first occasion) and this course scorer is capable of having a big say.

All four wins have been on good or slower ground and latest was at Hamilton (1m5f) in July; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher here and was creditable fourth over 1m2f at Ayr last time; respected back up in trip.

Form & Verdict

He's edged down the weights for his new yard this season and has been placed off this mark on his last two starts, finishing third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) then beaten just a neck at Hamilton (1m5f, good); back up in grade this afternoon but he might not be far away.

A dual winner (at up to 1m2f) last season; recorded a very good second over C&D in June and didn't enjoy a smooth run when fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m4f) two weeks ago; remains one to be interested in.

Unraced on firmer than good; off the mark for the season at Musselburgh (1m5f) in August but ran moderately on soft ground (runner-up on it once last November) 12 days ago; worth going beyond 1m5f for first time.

5-19 overall, with form on all sorts of surfaces (unraced here); in good heart until finishing nowhere in a Class 2 handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting; third at Goodwood 13 days ago was in a valuable seller but below her best form; 7lb out of handicap makes this tough in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
A four-time winner (at up to 1m5f) in 2025; easily best run this season when a clear second of six in 1m4f handicap at Ripon 24 days ago; a likely player despite taking a 2lb rise here.

Strike-rate of 4-18; winless this year but perhaps found good to firm ground too lively on her latest start and she had been running well before then; tactically versatile and she's on a perfectly fair mark.

Course winner (1m5f, good) who went very close at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; she was last of five here (1m5f, good) last Saturday but was beaten just under 2l having led at a steady pace, and she's not ruled out.
