Form & Verdict

Progressive at start of season, winning at Hamilton before good second over this C&D; of interest on that form and he didn't run badly at Ayr latest, but he's now been unplaced the last twice and needs to raise his game.

Form & Verdict

Has improved this year, winning twice at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and staying on well for a close fourth in the Cumberland Plate (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; up 1lb to another career-high mark but clearly thriving and he has solid claims now back up in trip; ran well over C&D in May.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month and third at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) six days later; this exposed 4yo has been beaten on his last 11 starts and there's a suspicion he may again be vulnerable, but first-time cheekpieces could eke out something extra and he might not be far away.

Failed to settle when sixth of 14 in the 1m3f Cumberland Plate (good to firm) last time and that's a concern on this first attempt at 1m4f; however, it was still a fair performance and he kept on strongly when winning over 1m2f at Redcar (good) two starts ago, so is well worth a go at this trip.
