Career best when winning 12-runner C&D handicap 14 days ago. Handily drawn and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid.

Winner at Chelmsford in September but last of 8 back there since. Bounce back needed.

Modest form when down the field in 3 qualifying runs here in March. Worth a precautionary betting check now handicapping after 6 months off.

Off the mark at the 24th time of asking when seeing off 8 rivals in 6f Catterick handicap (soft) 19 days ago, with reopposing Bandello ½ length back in second. Hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up.

C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. Off 7 months, 18 lengths eighth of 9 to Blue Jay Way in handicap (66/1) at Catterick (6f, soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Should be sharper now but others are still preferred.

7/2, good ½-length second of 9 to Blue Jay Way in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account.

Twenty two runs since last win in 2024 but not with James Owen for too long and latest C&D third of 11 in first-time cheekpieces (retained) was quite encouraging. Worth chancing.

Only 1 win from 30 starts but it did come here. Seventh of 8 in handicap (22/1) at this course (8.6f) 9 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 7/2, creditable 3 lengths third of 12 to Diligent Henry over C&D 14 days ago.

Won 6f Newcastle handicap in May. 50/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago, never nearer.

40/1, respectable 5 lengths sixth of 12 to Diligent Henry over C&D 14 days ago, never nearer. Others more persuasive.
