9st 9lb

J: Aiden Brookes

T: Ewan Whillans

Five-time winner, with first four on turf (1m4f-1m6f); returned after a long absence in February but he's run well in his last two starts and was beaten less than 2l in a Newcastle handicap (12.4f, Tapeta) last time; now drops into a classified event and he has possibilities back on turf.

C&D winner in January 2024 and several fair efforts after that; ran his best race since a 590-day break when a good fourth at Catterick last time; each-way chance.

9st 3lb

J: Rowan Scott

T: Ewan Whillans

Well treated on his 2024 exploits and, having returned from a long absence in February, it's possible he's working his way back into form; however, this 8yo is not easy to fancy on the evidence of this year's two runs.

Pulled hard when finishing last in a 0-55 handicap over C&D recently, his first start in around 18 months; entitled to improve but is very hard to recommend.
