Took this in 2024 and runner-up over C&D latest; he can go well again off the same mark

In good form until tenth at Southwell 13 days ago; handily weighted if back on his A-game

Too free over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton latest; can bounce back here

Second for fourth time in 2026 at Wolverhampton latest; he's firmly in the picture again
11 (6)	Harb b J:Cian Horgan(5) T:Tristan Davidson	J:Cian Horgan(5) T:Tristan Davidson	125	—	04-351	65	85	76	14d	—	—	-1	5.6	12/1 8%

7 (5)	Albegone b J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	129	p	8068-2	69	85	66	27d	—	—	+5	11.6	16/1 6%
Bounced back to form with C&D second last month; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb
9 (4)	Blue Force b J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	J:Cam Hardie T:Antony Brittain	126	h	1-6585	66	84	79	13d	—	—	+7	12.6	16/1 6%
Dual C&D winner; free-going fifth at Southwell latest; can make presence felt back at 5f

Not at all discredited when close eighth here two weeks ago; needs considering
4 (1)	Pop Star b J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	132	—	346-79	72	83	47	14d	—	—	+3	6.5	33/1 3%
Yet to hit top form for new yard, last of nine over C&D two weeks ago; others preferred
