Form & Verdict

Started off for Eve Johnson Houghton with emphatic C&D (good to firm) win on seasonal debut in May; not seen to same effect on either start last month but had some excuses on latter occasion and looks interesting now returned to this track and fitted with first-time cheekpieces (wore blinkers for middle three of his five wins).

Form & Verdict

Without a win since June 2020 but ran well when third at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) this month and is another 1lb lower here; respectable effort in a stronger race at Sandown on Thursday when tapped for speed in the closing stages (5f); not a forlorn hope.

Form & Verdict

Disappointed when favourite at Newbury this month and is now 0-10 but was placed off 4lb higher in big-field Class 4 handicap at Ascot (6f, good) in May and that piece of form makes him impossible to rule out here.

Form & Verdict

0-6 for current stable since claimed out of Archie Watson's last autumn but suggested he might be ready to capitalise upon some help from the handicapper when keeping-on well for third at Newbury (5f, good) last month; today's move back up to 6f will suit; one to consider.

Form & Verdict

Opened account with narrow win off basement mark at Lingfield (7f, good) in May but was disappointing favourite after racing too freely at Epsom this month; not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f and is 1lb out of the handicap; others have more pressing claims.

0-9 combined for two previous stables (raced mainly on AW) but returned from 561-day absence to make eye-catching debut for Seamus Durack at Ffos Las (6f, good) this month, where he was keeping on well when denied a clear run in the last half-furlong; likely to be suited by this stiffer 6f; needs to be taken very seriously.
