Form & Verdict
Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims.

Notched a fourth success of 2026 at Salisbury (6f) in August and posted another good effort with third of eight there (6f) eight days ago; handles this track well and has won on soft ground so must enter calculations.

Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back.

Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground.

Useful 2yo (won her novice on Polytrack) who's proven competitive in handicaps the last twice off this sort of mark, despite hanging left; well drawn for a front-runner but now has to prove she has the toe to dominate on her first crack at 5f.

Impressive debut C&D winner last May; having first run for 12 months and only second run since when an odds-on second of eight in 6f Doncaster novice last month; travelled strongly long way there, so remains with a fair bit of potential now handicapping.

Absent and gelded since finishing 4l second to the market leader at Carlisle (6f, soft) a year ago when attempting to follow up his Windsor success (6f, good); sets the form standard on reappearance and, assuming all is fine, still has potential to boot.

Both wins have been over 6f, the most recent at Salisbury (good) in October off a 1lb lower mark than today's, but he went over today's trip at Goodwood (soft) last month; likely has quicker ground conditions today but has good claims.
