Doesn't win much but is holding his form nicely, unlucky to bump into a well-in 3-y-o (rated 80) at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Nothing of that one's calibre here and seems sure to give another good account.

Won at Carlisle at 2 yrs for Ollie Pears but proved inconsistent and not so good in 2025. On a workable mark starting out for in-form new yard at least and goes in a first-time tongue tie.

6/4
3-time all-weather winner during his first spell with Jane Chapple-Hyam and some creditable efforts off his reduced mark back with the yard this year. Well backed and not so good at Wolverhampton last time but could be worth another chance with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Won a division of this handicap in 2023 but is quirky and having been well backed, once more managed to lose a race that looked in the bag at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Can go well again but is a risky betting proposition.

Just 1 win to his name (nearly 2 years ago) and was well beaten back from 3 months off here (6f) 4 weeks ago. Longer trip will suit and interesting to see market support back from a breathing operation.

Nearly 2 years since his last win but has run creditably the last twice, nearest finish under hand riding at Doncaster (1m) 6 weeks ago. On a career-low mark and could pop up.

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (11f) in March and a couple of creditable efforts since. Significantly back down in trip here.

Best run this season when refitted with cheekpieces and fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (1m) a fortnight ago, well positioned. Needs to build on it if he's to gain a first success.

Looked a limited maiden for Jack Channon, well held in Chepstow handicap when last seen 13 months ago. Tricky to fancy on all-weather debut after a long absence.

Long-standing maiden who has run poorly the last twice. Visor now the headgear of choice.
