Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him.

SR 72 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Three turf wins at about 1m on soft in 2025 but she had a quiet end to the year and was tailed off on her reappearance at Pontefract; has plenty to prove after that.

Has had some mixed results in 2026 but he had his path blocked when only just failing against Hale End at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; travelled within himself but took an age to pick up when a never-nearer fourth at Ayr since and now has a tongue-tie added; capable of going well.

Won a shade cosily over C&D (good) in April and may not have been best positioned on the flank when fifth of 12 behind Hale End at Wetherby (favourite) later in the month; worth another chance but this is competitive.

SR 72 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago.

Not badly treated on his best form at about 1m but his losing run goes back nearly two years and he's dropped right out in both runs this year.

Had a good run of form at about 1m last summer, winning two in a row at Pontefract and Nottingham (both on good); soundly beaten on return from a winter break but may well have more to offer after that.

He'd taken a healthy drop in the weights during an AW spell since December and was able to take advantage at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last week; ought to have another handicap in him off this 2lb higher mark but perhaps in a less competitive race than this.

Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today.

SR 67 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
