Held both starts this campaign including when eighth over this C&D on good ground last month. Probably best watched as he seeks a first Flat victory on turf.
15 race maiden has finished well beaten in three starts over hurdles since joining this stable. Others make more appeal on Flat return and first start since January.
11 race maiden is improving with racing this campaign and ran well when a neck third over 1m2f at Beverley (good-to-firm) recently. Interesting stepping up in distance.
Changed stables since finishing fifth in a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (good) last month. Disappointed at Haydock (1m2f, soft) a month ago on his most recent Flat start and market support would be notable.
Made a winning debut for this yard when victorious by a neck over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh (good) last month. Well beaten 16L fifth over this C&D and cheekpieces worn the last twice are retained.
13 race maiden struggled when eighth over 1m at Newcastle in February. Stamina to prove stepping up markedly in distance on his return from a break.
14 race maiden was beaten 7½L seventh in a C&D handicap on good ground last time out. First attempt at this distance that day and interesting to see how she fares racing from out of the weights with cheekpieces applied for the first time.
Fair fifth in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Perth (good) last month. Previously finished seventh in a 1m3f handicap at Hamilton (good-to-soft) and others hold more obvious claims racing from out of the weights.
First start since being gelded and making his handicap debut when finishing a promising 6¼L fourth over this trip at Ripon (good) last time out. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and remains open to improvement.
Maiden after four starts and interesting to see how he fares having finished 6¼L seventh over this trip at Kempton when making his handicap and seasonal debut in June.
Recorded some fair efforts in defeat since switched to handicaps including when 9¼L fourth over 2m at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time out. Worth a check in the market dropping in trip.
Ten race maiden ran well when 2L second over 1m6f here on his penultimate start. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day return having been replaced with a visor (first time) when well beaten over 1m2f subsequently.
Seven race maiden was beaten a head off this mark over this distance on the all-weather at Lingfield in March. Likely to have improved for his fifth upped to 1m6f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) in June on his only subsequent start.

TWO SOX showed ability when fourth on his handicap debut and with further improvement likely he can get off the mark by taking the concluding 1m4f handicap. The selection is less exposed than most of his rivals and he can get the better of Cheap Jack who can claim second spot on his first attempt at this distance. Third can go the way of Grimsthorpe Castle who can put a below par effort last time out behind him.
