Low-mileage 4-y-o. On the up when making a successful return/handicap debut (following a breathing operation) at Newcastle (1½m). His wind perhaps an issue when failing to get home over 2m at Musselburgh in April. Could be worth a chance returning in first-time tongue strap following 5 months away.

Age: 8|  Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Gray| T: A Nicol| OR:  85| D
Once-useful Flat performer who left Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore on the back of a fair 2025 over hurdles. Offered little at long odds on stable debut/reappearance, though, and hard to be confident he's the force of old.

Course winner who's been a long way below his smart best for present yard this year. Addition of more severe headgear will need to spark a revival, for all he did run better than on return when beaten 10 lengths in this grade at York last time.

Won Kempton maiden for Tom Clover last spring. Improved on that form switched to handicaps by current yard (won over hurdles in between), including a well-backed success over this trip at Goodwood in May. Probably over the top at Salisbury later that month and better is expected following a break.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: M Todhunter| OR:  78
Fairly useful dual-purpose performer for Noel Meade in Ireland. Stepped up on his stable debut when staying-on fifth at Chester (1½m) last time, clocking some notable sectionals in the process. Longer trip should suit on that evidence, and he may well resume winning ways.

Has been holding his form well since recording another 1½m handicap success at Lingfield in the spring. Best not judged on just his second handicap start on turf at Epsom last time, however, there remains a strong suspicion that he's better on all-weather.

Sharp Movet23
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR:  76
Frankel colt. Dam, half-sister to a smart stayer. Dominant winner of Newcastle maiden last winter. No impact in couple of 1¼m handicaps on good to soft, latterly when turned out quickly in first-time tongue strap here. Potential improver over a markedly longer trip given his pedigree/connections.

Age: 6|  Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: H Fry| OR:  74
Lightly-raced winning hurdler who outstayed an odds-on favourite to land a well-run novice at Bath (1¼m) last September. Off since running up to his best over hurdles the following month. Unexposed making a quick switch to handicaps, over a markedly longer trip than when last seen on the Flat.

Travelled smoothly when notching the first leg of a quick-fire double over C&D this time last year. Now only 1 lb above that mark following a spell in the doldrums and potentially interesting if a change of headgear has the desired effect.

Benefited from a drop in class when successful off this mark in Class 5 company at Carlisle in mid-June. Again ran well in this grade when 6 lengths third at Musselburgh (2¼m) last time, early keenness just taking its toll in the closing stages. Should give another good account back down in trip.

Forecasts

Alther Walden (3/1), Soul Limbo (9/2), Gallivanted (11/2), Yaa Min (13/2), Trojan Sun (7/1), Mick Collins (15/2), Gentle Warrior (8/1), Sharp Move (12/1), Evaluation (25/1), Shadow Dance (50/1)

Verdict

MICK COLLINS did some eye-catching late work over 1½m last time, and the step up in distance may see him open his account for current connections. If there's a fly in the ointment, it could be Sharp Move, who looks interesting now tried over a significantly longer trip. Course winner Gentle Warrior also appeals off a much-reduced mark, along with unexposed stayer Alther Walden.
