6/4

Comment: Runner-up at Kempton (6f, AW) on handicap debut before getting off the mark at Catterick (6f, good to firm) ten days ago when he hung left in first-time cheekpieces; visor now replaces cheekpieces and he holds obvious claims under a penalty on this return to AW.

Comment: Did well on the AW as a 2yo (2132213) but record on artificial surfaces since last year reads 8655559; 9lb below last winning mark, but not shown a great deal of late and needs to bounce back.

Comment: Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall.

Comment: Knocking on the door before winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) nine days ago; now drops in trip (won over C&D in 2023) but he may be best over a bit further nowadays.

Comment: C&D winner; posted a solid effort at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) on his yard debut having been off since winning a classified event at Southwell (1m, AW) last March; steps back up in trip on this return to AW and holds claims.
