Form & Verdict

Lightly raced 4yo who opened his account in Thirsk handicap (6f, good) last month when having second run back from lengthy absence; that form is strong (second/third have won since) and he's open to further progress; respected up 7lb.

Form & Verdict

Generally respectable form in four runs since having wind surgery; losing spell goes back to 2020 but has possibilities if he takes well to first-time visor; stone below last winning mark.

Form & Verdict

Narrowly justified favouritism in C&D contest (on good ground) 16 days ago, giving Jim Goldie his 1,000th winner as a trainer; remains well treated back up just 2lb, as he defied this mark in the Bronze Cup here (good to firm) last September; major contender.

Form & Verdict

Has continued below his peak form in three starts since rejoining Richard Fahey, following a spell in Ireland; however, was useful as a 2yo and could turn things around off current mark.

Along with Call Me Ginger he's on the same mark as for an Ayr Bronze Cup success (2019); recent form includes a Catterick win (penultimate start); close second in this contest 12 months ago; enters calculations.

Form & Verdict

Ran well in last year's Super Sprint, then won Newmarket novice event (6f, good to firm) on final 2yo start; possibly needed his reappearance run, then didn't quite get home over 7f back at Newmarket (with visor applied) last time; may improve returned to sprinting.
