Landed a gamble on final start for yard at Chepstow (7f) in May but yet to threaten in a trio of starts for new connections. Can't be ruled out, though. Visor back on.
|
Back to winning ways at Carlisle last month and denied a clear run when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 5/1) since. Holds strong claims.
|
Cashed in on reduced mark at Chester (7f) last month and arrives on back of respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 10 days ago. Ought to go well again.
|
Still looking for first success but has made the frame on several occasions this term and is best not judged on latest effort over minimum trip at Newcastle. Tongue strap on first time. Not out of things.
|
Multiple 5f winner who had been absent 20 months prior to finishing last of 9 over C&D on debut for new yard in May. Rejoined Ray Craggs but well below best here latest. Others preferred.
|
Disappointed at Redcar latest but had posted a career best when second of 11 in handicap at same course (7f) previously. Must enter calculations.
|
C&D winner. Yet to get near best form in a handful of starts this term, latest when 3½ lengths fourth of 11 to Great in handicap at Carlisle (6f, firm) 23 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights, though.
|
In fine form last year and ran well on reappearance at Southwell (6f). Back to that sort of form, in first-time blinkers, when respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 37 days ago. Claims if building on that.
|
Well handicapped on much of his 2025 form but is yet to fire this season. including tried in first-time tongue tie at Beverley last month.

Forecasts
Northcliff (7/2), Great (4/1), Kings Merchant (9/2), Maldevious (6/1), Lord Abama (8/1), Fanjove (8/1), Bay Breeze (10/1), Khabib (14/1), Mecca's Symphony (16/1)
GREAT didn't get the breaks at Beverley last time and will be suited by the return to this longer trip. He makes plenty of appeal. Kings Merchant and Mecca's Symphony can also make their presence felt.
