Made all in a 7f handicap at Carlisle in June; no issue with the return to either 6f or AW but not sure there's much juice in his current mark.

Handy sort who returned to winning form at Carlisle (7f, good) in June and made it 2-3 over C&D when making all here nine days ago; respected under his 5lb penalty, especially if allowed his own way again.

Goes well here and has slid to a dangerous mark, being 6lb lower than when going in at Pontefract this time last year; not been at his best so far this season but has done all his winning in high summer and could well bounce back.

Yet to win this year but he's run the odd good race and he's now 10lb lower than when returning to action in April; needs serious consideration now dropping into a 0-70; goes without any accessories for the first time since last June.

Better effort when beaten less than a length into second of ten at Kempton (6f, AW) a week ago; 1lb well in and has gone close over this far, but a record of 2-23 (0-9 on turf) is a concern and soft ground would be another question.

Not found his best form for new yard in 2024 but that is reflected in his much-reduced handicap mark; whether he's quite ready to gain a first turf success remains to be seen but Rossa Ryan's booking is encouraging on this first dip into Class 6 company.

Ended his drought with a strong-finishing win on AW here (6f; 12-1) in April but he's flopped in two runs at Yarmouth since; has quite a lot to prove again and others are more convincing; his turf wins have come on good/good to soft.

Ex Archie Watson; rediscovered winning ways when finishing off with a rare rattle at Lingfield (6f AW; 12-1) in April; subsequently well beaten here (seventh of eight) in late May, so arrives with questions to be answered; others are more convincing.
