Won twice at about this trip under Alice Bond on the AW in April and he's a dual turf winner who goes well on fast ground; 2lb below his most recent success but needs to step up on recent efforts. |

Reliable sort and a course winner too but he came in only eighth of nine in 1m4f handicap at Haydock when last seen out in May; he's no forlorn hope after a break though. |

1-11 and the win came in Ireland; has come a long way down the weights and he offered more when a close third over 1m4f at Thirsk (good); chance if able to build on that.

Sole win in 12 starts came at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) as a 2yo; third in his last two starts on turf (1m2f/1m4f) and although he didn't look an easy ride last time, could still go well down another 1lb. |

Sole success came in 2022 when trained in Ireland; he has struggled since switching to current yard this year and has beaten only two horses in four starts; had wind surgery before last run when eighth of nine at Newcastle last month; hard to fancy. |

Most wins on the AW but he went back-to-back on turf in successive days during June; below par of late but could bounce back on this belated return to 1m2f (stays this far).

Two-time C&D winner; near miss at Beverley in July (1m2f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level at Ripon last month (1m3f, good); caught wide when underperforming at Pontefract last week; dangerous at this level in an uncompetitive race; jockey having first ride as an apprentice (0-5 as an amateur). |

In a good run of form (including 1m2f/2m wins) before a shocking effort at Ripon last time in the reapplied blinkers (pulled up when tried in those previously); has to bounce back and the headgear is persevered with.

Still a maiden but there's a case for thinking he'll do better back on a slow surface, having run one of his best races on soft at Leicester (1m) last autumn and close up on good to soft at Ripon in June; not dismissed. |

In a respected southern yard but his qualifying runs were poor and so too his handicap debut on the AW (1m4f) when cheekpieces were given a go; carried no confidence there at 11-1; not the percentage call.

Not finished within 11l of the winner in three starts over 1m-1m2f on turf/AW, but may show more now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces; dam's side of pedigree suggests the longer trip should suit. |

Enjoyed a fine time of it on turf last year with four wins over 1m4f, the latest off this mark; hasn't shone in two starts since returning from a lengthy absence last month and has given the impression she may need a stiffer test than this on the AW. |

Took advantage of a low mark on Southwell AW in March but Lincoln Rockstar was too strong for him back on turf at Beverley (1m4f, soft) in May; has a weights turnaround today but the winner has edged forward since and has less to prove over 1m6f. |
