Form & Verdict

Often front-runner; 2-9 at this track, plus three seconds and they include penultimate start, which was her only go in cheekpieces; they return today following a lesser show when she reverted to her usual visor at Nottingham 18 days ago; a little more persuasive at short of this trip.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up in two bumpers and in handicaps over about 2m at Chester (to Sea Grey; claimer ridden) in June and Pontefract in August; off the mark at Ripon (2m, good to firm) only on Tuesday, after a prolonged tussle, and a 5lb penalty demands more from him, but he's one to consider with 7lb claimer.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark on turf at Ayr in July and ran respectably next time, but no show on latest; those three races were over 1m, so this is virtually twice the distance; that prevents any confidence in his chance, although he has been placed at up to 1m4f (unraced beyond that).

Form & Verdict

Unlucky here in May but won another C&D race in June, travelling much the best entering the straight before rallying to beat Wind Your Neck In by a neck; needs to put a lesser show here (1m6f) last time behind him and possibly has more to prove these days if the ground is not softer than good, but he's one of the stronger candidates.

T: Karl Thornton

Narrow winner at Navan (1m5f, heavy) last April; patchy form since but his C&D run (good to soft) three weeks ago was a good one, badly hampered 3f out and coming from well off the pace turning for home to be beaten just a length, short of room late on; capable of being a serious player off this unchanged mark.

Not proven on firmer than good (one attempt); returned to the Flat for wins here this summer over 2m and 1m6f; bad interference entering the straight excuses his failure in hat-trick bid here (1m4f) four weeks ago; player.

Close third in this race last year; once more he returns following a win, this time having scored at York seven weeks ago; back up 4lb today, but his appeal would be limited most if the ground is not softer than good.

Raced mostly on turf; not particularly solid on 2024 form but may benefit from wearing cheekpieces for the first time in nearly a year; successful three times in this headgear; possibilities off a workable mark, provided he handles the surface (second attempt).

Form & Verdict

First turf win for ages was here (1m4f, good to firm) in May off 4lb lower; had AW wins over 1m6f and 2m in his time, so finishing last on his two latest outings (absent two months in between) is the chief concern.
