Form & Verdict

Looked good when winning on handicap debut on Lingfield AW (1m) in July and things didn't go entirely to plan when beaten at a short price at Kempton in August; has left Roger Varian since and now goes in a tongue-tie in his first turf handicap; has potential for yard that's 2-7 here.

Gelded prior to his handicap debut at Lingfield three weeks ago (1m, AW) and he saw his race out well to reward odds-on backers; that was only a Class 6 event and he's been hit with an 8lb rise but the runner-up won next time and the form has some merit; still capable of better.

Form & Verdict

Classy handicap form in 2023, notably when winning at Goodwood (7f) and then third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m; both on good to firm); has taken an age to recapture form this year but he caught the eye at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago and has a good mark to exploit.

Form & Verdict

Three 1m wins in 2023 (good to soft and soft), the latest over C&D; two good efforts from four starts in 2024 but he hasn't looked ahead of his mark and likely needs softened ground to level the playing field back at 1m.

Won three times last year (1m, good to soft/soft) including on his only visit to York and that was under Jack Lander; reappearance second was much better than his other two starts this term; back up in trip and he did win twice over 1m2f in 2022, so he's not entirely ruled out.

Tough character who ran on all three days of the Western meeting here, fading in the first but a cosy winner from off the pace in the second (1m, good) before understandably flagging the final day; back up 3lb for the win and needs things to fall right.

Six of his seven wins have come at Carlisle, the most recent over 7f (good) in August; has also won at 1m and 1m1f there; two moderate efforts followed but he kept his nose to the grindstone over 7f here ten days ago and the return to further will suit; should figure.
