Rather subdued this season; one of his best runs last year came on his only start here
6 (7)	Goldsmith b J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Alice Haynes	J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Alice Haynes	138	h	-13383	68	80	34	13d	—	—	0	16.9	7/2 22%
Had a ten-week absence before latest start, so perhaps he can build on that display
3 (6)	Kimifive ch J:Charlie Todd T:Ian Williams	J:Charlie Todd T:Ian Williams	141	—	120-75	71	78	59	15d	—	—	-2	8.1	15/2 12%

Clearcut win at Brighton on latest start; not ruled out by going back up 4lb
1 (3)	Silver Screen b J:Jonny Peate T:Jack Jones	J:Jonny Peate T:Jack Jones	142	h	0-5254	72	80	52	14d	—	—	-1	8	15/2 12%
Twice a runner-up over about 1m on turf and also ran creditably on latest start
7 (2)	Rivas Rob Roy ch J:Connor Planas(3) T:John Gallagher	J:Connor Planas(3) T:John Gallagher	130	b	562111	60	77	56	23d	—	—	+20	28.5	17/2 11%
Seen mostly at Brighton, where he's won over 1m on his last three starts; on a roll

Never-nearer third of seven to Darvel on latest start was clearly his best show this term
9 (8)	Plymouth Rock b J:Georgia Dobie T:Lee Carter	J:Georgia Dobie T:Lee Carter	121	p	5504-8	51	74	49	194d	—	—	-1	0.8	66 2%
Last won in 2020 and not much of substance to latch on to since; off since January
