Jockey: S M Levey Trainer: P D Evans Age/Wt: 3/9-1 F: 4-09842 OR: 72

Comment: Reduced mark and showed signs of a return to form when getting a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ffos Las in June; duly stepped up when second of 12 at Haydock (7f, good) 11 days later; back up 3lb but goes on the increasingly long shortlist; yard won this with a 33-1 shot in 2023.

Comment: Pretty consistent in his 1m2f-1m4f handicaps, wandering but off the mark at tenth attempt when 6-4 favourite in a small field at Windsor (1m2f) on latest outing; back up 4lb but probably on the premises.

Comment: Second in 1m4f handicaps at Goodwood and Epsom before he scored in tidy fashion at Haydock (10.4f, good) 19 days ago, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; up 4lb but may well have more up his sleeve.

5/1

Comment: Won quite takingly at Beverley (1m2f, good) in April; good to firm ground may have been against him next time and he caught the eye with his late progress when creditable fifth of nine at Sandown (1m2f, good) 11 weeks ago; any recent rain is probably a help and there's a strong feeling that he can still prove capable of better.

Comment: Won a Thirsk novice (1m, good) in July; gelded afterwards and only tenth of 11 when second favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (1m) 18 days ago, albeit not beaten far; that sees cheekpieces installed today but there's also the chance that good to firm ground was not ideal that day and that stepping up to 1m2f will suit him.

Comment: Unraced on softer than good; plenty of ability in his qualifying runs (1m/1m2f) but disappointing in his two handicaps (1m4f/1m2f) despite being prominent in the betting; it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Comment: Won Newmarket novice (1m4f, good to firm) in May, before tailed off in 1m4f Group 2 at Royal Ascot; while handicap debut in Racing League race at Yarmouth (11.4f, soft; 14-1) five weeks ago was creditable on form, he clearly needs improvement as that was good enough for only eighth of 12; visor goes on.

Comment: Won a heavy-ground novice over 1m at Haydock last autumn on debut; well beaten on reappearance and gelded; while his fifth of 11 on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good; 18-1) five weeks ago was creditable on form, he needs to build on that; very lightly raced, so it could happen.

Comment: Ploughed through heavy ground when making all in a Haydock nursery (7f) last autumn; backward steps in his only two starts this year, with very little response from the handicapper, so others are preferred; new trip.

Comment: Made all in a small-field maiden at Bath (1m, firm) in May and best form when second on handicap debut at Sandown (1m, good to firm) next time; while third over 1m2f at Sandown latest was respectable, she looked a bit stretched by the trip; left Andrew Balding for 35,000gns two weeks ago.
