AW winner off much the same mark over 5f in February but he's been off since March and although he's capable of going well after a break he's rarely asked to race on soft ground; looks like other days.

Has won on good to soft, handles soft; not quite in the same form as when winning over C&D in July (good to firm) but he might do better back here if turning out again after a Ripon run on Saturday.

Not yet won a handicap but he's been in good form of late, notably when going close at Chester (extended 5f, good to soft) recently; has course form and weighted to go well again on ground he handles.

0-18 since 2yo win in 2022 and inconsistent this year; however, he ran well when fourth at Musselburgh (5f, good) recently and should be fine over this slightly longer trip and on slower ground; each-way possible. |

Overcame another slow start when winning on Lingfield AW (6f) in August but was never involved at Kempton next time; has won on soft but the return to 5f for the first time in over a year raises questions.

In good form over 5f at Sandown, just losing out to a well-treated one before racing away for a convincing win (soft) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but has won off higher marks in the past; has C&D form and every chance.

Soft-ground promise on debut for previous yard last spring but he wasn't seen again after May until finishing down the field on AW 14 days ago; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and might need another run.

Front-runs; his August win over 5f at Chepstow came on good to soft but he's versatile regarding the ground; now needs to show he's well enough weighted for this race.

Heavy-ground winner over 5f on final 2yo start; has mostly struggled in a light campaign but he's back on more suitable ground and perhaps adding cheekpieces will help; not dismissed.

Four wins on good ground and AW; good effort in third of eight, despite getting messed about, at Bath recently and that first run over a bare 5f suggests he has some scope at this trip; went close on a rare run on soft last October so worth a second look.

Often leads; three 6f wins here, on heavy and soft; has slipped down the social scale but he's dropped a long way in the weights and he's been racing on ground quicker than ideal since comeback; of interest.

Verdict
Punchbowl Flyer has to be respected back here on ground he relishes but FOUR ADAAY is still preferred after her emphatic Sandown win. Mumayaz was unlucky not to finish a lot closer on the drop to 5f at Bath recently and although he’s generally kept away from soft ground he has handled the surface in the past. Dashing Harry and Thankuappreciate also enter the reckoning.[Emily Weber]
