Won back-to-back races last summer, including on soft at Lingfield (11.5f); despite carrying top weight, he is competitively handicapped on peak form; the 101-day absence and having stamina to prove definitively over 1m5f are the concerns.

Won over C&D (soft) and at Windsor (11.4f, good) last August; hasn't been at the top of his game this season but he finished close up at Doncaster on his penultimate run and is now 2lb lower than for his last win; not ruled out back at this track. |

Prominent-racer who won two in a row in April (11.6f/1m4f, good/soft); his subsequent form has been mixed but fast ground may not have suited last time and he's capable of playing a leading role if back on song. |

Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives.

Early wins at 6f and 1m2f as well as one over hurdles for James Nash; out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles in Ireland this year but he wasn't beaten too far at Ayr (1m2f) in May 2023 and now 16lb lower on debut for up-and coming yard following £2,500 sale; market check enlightening. |
