0-12 on turf; good third at Windsor in June (1m, good to firm) but soundly beaten on both starts since (pulled too hard for inexperienced amateur); should do better.

T: Ian Williams

Lost many lengths at the start and well beaten under Katie Martin at Newbury (1m2f) three weeks ago; comes with a risk attached after that but ten days earlier he was a good third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and he's not written off now back down in distance.

Form & Verdict

Scored at 1m early in career but has gained both handicap wins over 6f (here on soft ground); seemingly outstayed by the first two in C&D event last week and may ideally need a drop back in trip; new headgear.

Respectable fourth in 1m AW contest at Lingfield two weeks ago and remains on a workable mark; again has frame possibilities but his chance of winning is weaker, with strike-rate still modest (2-27).

Usually claimer ridden; 2lb lower than when winning at Bath (1m) last July; while his latest three starts clearly weren't his best, he's had 139 days off since (his first break of any significance since late 2022) and has plenty of form which would see him seriously involved.

Not solid on 2024 form and failed to beat a rival in May when last seen; age may be catching up with this 9yo; best watched on return from break, unless the market speaks positively.

Verdict

Having posted an improved effort at Nottingham on his debut for Dylan Cunha, EDVARD GRIEG (nap) could well take another step forward and get off the mark. Double Red, who may show the benefit of this drop in class with headgear fitted, is second choice ahead of Finn Russell who won his most recent Flat start. Darysina Gold has possibilities granted fast ground, while Lzaz could be involved now handicapping.[Steve Boow]
