Off the mark for the season when winning a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago, suited by the strong pace; 3lb higher mark to contend with and his stamina isn't assured.

9st 6lb

J: Jack Callan

T: Jennie Candlish

Latest Nottingham third in this headgear was a bit better and he'll be a threat to all if recapturing the form he showed when a close second over C&D (good to firm) off 2lb higher in April, particularly with Jack Callan taking an additional 3lb off.

Heavy defeats in two AW starts, both on this track in 2025; more of the same for much of this year and although there were more hopeful signs in midsummer, he was said to have never travelled when tailed off at Redcar last time.

Five wins include two this summer (at 1m2f) but he's a quirky 5yo who doesn't always fancy the challenge; others safer.

J: Jason Watson

Won twice in July, including here (1m2f, good), and his last two runs have seen him hamstrung by pulling far too hard; drops in trip on what will likely be the slowest ground he has encountered; risky.

Won twice over 1m2f last month (good and good to firm); pulled his chance away when third to Mariner at Doncaster 16 days ago; stamina for 1m4f has to be taken on trust but Henry Callan is 5-7 for James Owen and he should give it another good go.

10-50 turf; made all, clinging on, at Redcar (1m2f, good; 20-1) ten days ago; 3lb higher, but with 3lb claimer Conor Whiteley taking over in the saddle; is better known as a miler, so stamina could be the thorny issue, especially if more rain arrives.
