Overcame concerns about his stamina when opening his account in 4-runner handicap at Sandown (1¾m) in June and justified strong support in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) last month, leading final 1f. Up 4 lb but can continue on his upward trajectory returned to turf.

Lightly-raced gelding who upped his game sent handicapping when winning 4-runner event here (11.5f, firm) last month. Unable to live with the gambled-on winner when runner-up at Goodwood (1¾m, heavy) just under 3 weeks ago and remains with potential back under less testing conditions.

4-time winner over hurdles in summer 2025. Has quickly made his mark in Flat handicaps too, landing a quick hat-trick in 4-runner event at Nottingham (1¾m, good) in late-July. Found a better-quality affair a different kettle of fish at Pontefract (17f, good) last month, however. Visor reapplied.

Getting the hang of things now and found the progress required to get off the mark in ready fashion up against older rivals for the first time at Brighton (1½m, good) last month. Shaped as if still in good form when third at Windsor (11.5f) since and not without each-way hope.

Landed back-to-back 2m handicaps last autumn and resumed with good placed efforts at Goodwood this spring. Changed yards prior to shaping better than result at same track (20.5f) in July and proved unable to concede best part of a stone to a couple of 3-y-os at Chester (2m) last month.

Beaten favourite on 4 of his 5 starts for his leading yard, most recently when fourth of 14 at Epsom (1½m, good) 18 days ago. Has been dropped another 1 lb and back up to 1¾m, he's worth one more chance with Marquand up for the first time.

Bookended a light 2025 campaign with victories at Salisbury and Newmarket, the latter coming over this trip last August. Only beat a sole rival on return at Ascot in May but not disgraced after a further 4 months off when seventh of 8 at Sandown (1¼m) recently. Back up in trip.

Best effort when staying-on third in 9f novice at Goodwood last October. Hasn't looked resolute in a couple of starts this year, failing to improve for the switch to a handicap (following a gelding operation) at Sandown (1¼m) in July. At least worth a go over further here.

Dual winner last term who improved from return effort when creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton in July. Seemed unsuited by such testing conditions at Goodwood (1¾m) just under 3 weeks ago and arguably more interesting on all-weather than turf these days anyway.
