High Gosforth Park Golf Club Handicap

Useful at his best for Richard Hughes but failed to beat a rival on his last 3 outings for that stable and same story both starts for new yard this summer.

Bounced back to his best with his reappearance under his belt when winning over C&D in March. Struggled back on turf next 3 starts but he's back on his last winning mark returned to this surface.

Won a C&D novice in November and proved he's trained on at the third attempt when fifth at Southwell, first-time headgear a possible catalyst. Struggled back on turf next time and blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

Has drawn a blank since a Group 3 win as a juvenile and was below par on both his starts on the all-weather last season. However, he is capable of making an impact from his reduced mark, beaten only a length when sixth of 18 at York 6 weeks ago.

Prolific on the all-weather over the winter, winning 3 of his 4 starts. Below par first 3 starts since returning from a break this summer but wasn't far off his best when fourth at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago.

Just failed at Wolverhampton (7f) in February and in better form than recent form figures suggest, shaping as if ready for a return to this trip when third at Southwell latest. Now 3 lb below last winning mark.

Runner-up at Wolverhampton on debut but has gone the wrong way since. Sold from Ralph Beckett for 2,600 gns since last seen.

Overcame a troubled passage to make a successful handicap debut at Musselburgh in June. After a slow start, did well to finish third at Doncaster next time and he merits consideration with more still to offer.

Course regular (6-time winner, latest in February). Below par last 3 starts but shaped as if needing the run back from 4 months off 6 weeks ago. Better expected now back on a winning mark.

Sole success came in novice here (6f) last summer. Went close at Carlisle in May and back to that level when fourth over C&D last time. Eased another 1 lb but this is tougher.

Displayed better signs when runner-up at Wolverhampton in May and confirmed promise of that effort at second attempt when resuming winning ways there 66 days ago, forging clear. However, raised 5 lb on the back of that and this race looks a lot more competitive.

Shaped well on her qualifying run over C&D in the autumn but well held in a trio of handicaps this year.
