Two C&D wins on soft and good ground; below best in the autumn and has needed both runs in 2026 but he's run two of his best races for Paul Mulrennan (1-3 on him) who is back up today; on a handy mark and a revival could be imminent.

SR 58 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Multiple wins, including over C&D; best turf form in 2026 came when involved in a tight finish on this track in April (good; has won on soft) and although some so-so efforts since, a recent Musselburgh second suggested he has a good run in him back here.

SR 68 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Has course form; 6f and 5f wins have come on a variety of tracks and he's won two of his six 5f runs since having wind surgery, most recently at Pontefract (good; acts well on soft) on Monday; unpenalised for that apprentice win under Oliver Carmichael; leading claims.

SR 73 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
C&D winner last August (good; has won on soft); has often run well or won following a break and he did so again when involved in a close finish at Thirsk last week on first run since October; weighted to find another race and likely to be involved.

Flexible regarding the going; had mixed results since winning at Pontefract (5f, soft) last October, but he wasn't far away after making the running at Ripon recently and is now 2lb lower than that last winning mark; probably needs a bit more.

Maiden after ten starts, seemingly best on the AW but he could never get involved on apparently favourable terms in a Wolverhampton classified event recently and has work to do back on turf.
