Made a winning start for the yard at Lingfield in March and ran well after just 2 days off when fourth in 8-runner at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago. Should go well again.

Maiden who again finished well held in a first-time visor and tongue strap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 88 days ago. Hard to fancy after a break.

Showed the benefit of a recent run to capitalise on a falling mark in 11-runner handicap at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. The third has franked that form since, so he's respected up 2 lb.

Probably needed the run after 6 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Not dismissed on the pick of her form.

Eighth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) on reappearance 4 days ago. Drop in trip should help given how she shaped that day.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but shaped as if still in good form after 11 weeks off when seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 15 days ago, not clear run 1f out and finishing with running left. Shortlist material.

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs but wasted no time getting back to form when second of 10 in 1m handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm, 15/2) 8 days ago. Good chance of breaking his duck with a repeat.

One win from 21 Flat runs and ran as well as could be expected when sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) in March. Off 91 days.

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Brighton (8f, good). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Must improve.
