7/1

Won the "Dash" at Epsom last summer and went in again here in August. Kicked off present campaign with a smashing C&D second in April so rather disappointing he's not matched that form in trio of starts since. Return to this venue may help from easing mark.

Form: 00-2008

6/4

Shaping up well since returning to these shores in recent months, building on his very good Doncaster second when ending losing run in 7-runner handicap (11/2) at York (5f, good) 20 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Well worth considering again from 4 lb higher.

10/1

A three-time 5f/6f scorer for Craig Lidster in 2024 (including over C&D) who stepped up on his reappearance/stable debut effort when sixth in 19-runner "Dash" at Epsom (5f) 6 weeks ago and he's very much one to keep an eye on having dipped 3 lb below last winning mark.

4/1

Opened his account for new yard at Thirsk (5f) in May and solid efforts from his revised mark have followed, good third of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Should make another bold bid on the front end.

11/4

Deservedly off the mark in 8-runner Ayr maiden (6f) in May and enhanced his form in defeat subsequently, posting a very good short head second of 15 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago. This looks tougher but he remains unexposed at the minimum trip.

Forecasts

Squealer (6/4), Dan Tucker (11/4), Reigning Profit (7/2), Kodiac Thriller (4/1), Dream Composer (7/1), Twilight Jet (8/1), The Bell Conductor (10/1)

Having posted a solid second at Doncaster on his penultimate start, SQUEALER returned to his very best when ending a losing run at York (5f) 4 weeks ago. A 4 lb rise for that success looks fair and he rates a lead player once more. 3-y-o Dan Tucker and Reigning Profit head up the dangers in what is an intriguing affair.
