| Started the season in top form, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (good; made all) in April. Also runner-up at Ripon in May and has had possible excuses when below par on last 2 outings. Well drawn for a front runner. | ||||||||

| Dual 6f scorer last season and back to winning ways over 5f at Beverley 13 days ago, coming with a strong run from off the pace to be well on top at the finish. A 6 lb rise may not stop him if in the same mood. | ||||||||

| Hasn't won for a long time but his mark reflects that and he turned in his best effort of the season minus cheekpieces when a close third over C&D earlier in the month. A subsequent Thirsk run was less encouraging, though. | ||||||||

| Back from 6 months off with a very good second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f) in April but didn't look to put it all in (not for the first time) when only fifth at Redcar since. | ||||||||

| Returned to his best when belatedly off the mark at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in April. Ran abysmally here next time but latest third back at Catterick shows he's still in form. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. | ||||||||
