Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect.
AI verdict

SR 93 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back.
AI verdict

SR 82 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Windsor last June; gelded prior to finishing second on his reappearance/handicap debut 11 days ago (1m2f, good to soft), pulling clear with the winner having travelled strongly; a 3lb rise won't help but he isn't fully exposed and returning to 1m shouldn't be an issue.

Only seen twice since winning a 1m fillies' novice as a 2yo (Polytrack), facing a stiff task on the first occasion and then not seen to best effect over 7f nine weeks ago; not fully exposed.

C&D winner last August (good ground; cheekpieces first time); three heavy defeats have followed and he comes here with plenty to prove.

A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go.
AI verdict

SR 77 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Dual winning juvenile (maiden/nursery) who was off for 324 days before showing mixed form in three starts from September last year, just failing in Newmarket handicap (1m, good) but lesser shows either side of that; she missed two runs on account of the ground (good to firm) last month; tongue-tie now added; looks on a handy mark.
AI verdict

SR 63 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Produced a strong finish to win a competitive 7f handicap here as a 3yo; first win since when making a successful stable debut at Chelmsford in January (7f); in and out since but he's on a winning mark and the ability is there if things pan out favourably.

May have needed the run at Kempton 12 days ago but he ended up well beaten; he has a lower turf mark to exploit but is a better horse on AW; others look safer.

7f maiden win on AW last April; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up short; well backed on last month's seasonal/stable debut (7f, AW), staying on best (fastest final-furlong sectional) for fifth in a race not run to suit; worth another crack at 1m on that evidence; may yet do better.

SR 84 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
