Form & Verdict

Acts on any ground; has registered a couple of Class 4 wins this term, including at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) latest start; back up in class but two attempts at this contest comprise a win (off 2lb higher) in 2024 and respectable fifth last year.

Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though.

Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Comfortably prevailed in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, following up his autumn AW success (1m, AW) and taking record to 2-3; the only unexposed contender in this field and commands respect with further improvement on the cards.

Hasn't progressed as might have been expected since his handicap debut success at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) but has posted consistent RPRs, including when fifth of 11 at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; shaped on that occasion as if worth another go at 1m4f; considered.

Has form figures of 3112 and that latest second was a close call in a Redcar handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; now goes up in trip and grade and but he's only 1lb higher than last time and he should have more to offer; dangerous.

Form & Verdict
Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f.

75-rated on the Flat, with three wins (5f-7f; all for Karl Burke) from 15 starts; is closely related to the 2m1f Flat and 2m hurdle/chase winner Hazran, which suggests that he's worth a go over obstacles; monitor only.

Stepped up on the form of any of this three wins as a 2yo (for Karl Burke) when second over 1m here in May; had three-next-time-out winners behind him on that occasion but he hasn't reproduced that level in four subsequent outings; all 13 turf starts have come on good/good to firm; needs a return to Haydock to spark a revival.

Form & Verdict
Successful in Britain and Bahrain during his spell with George Scott; gave impression something was amiss when last seen (had wind surgery since); current mark, combined with carrying a big weight, makes this his stiffest handicap assignment.
