Comment: Busy for James Owen since March, including four wins over hurdles; Flat form in that period was mixed but best of it was a C&D second in June which gives him a shout; this is a very rare run these days without headgear.

Comment: Off the mark at sixth attempt, in handicap at Nottingham (1m6f, good to soft) in July; switched to a visor that day, which has been kept since; not so good when third of four at Beverley latest but that was 2m on good to firm; could be of renewed interest if he's back on softer ground here.

Comment: All four turf wins were on soft or heavy in 2024; he hasn't had that ground this season (still took some minor honours) and is well down the weights, so should be highly interesting if he gets his ground.

Comment: Multiple winner, the latest a dead-heat on AW (5f) in April off 2lb lower; not at his best in two runs this summer and vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.

Comment: Switched to turf and a hood for last three starts, winning a classified at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) in June on first occasion; not discredited over 2m latest; probably not the best handicapped but he is lightly raced.
