Suited by sound pace when ending a long losing run at Pontefract (6f) in June. Rather mixed bag since but shaped as if back in form when third at aforementioned track on latest start and should be at least as effective back at 7f.

Back to form out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark on third start for current yard over C&D (good) in June, suited by sound gallop. Has run creditably in defeat on both outings since and should remain competitive if continuing in a similar vein.

Multiple all-weather winner who got back on track when finding only one too good in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) in April. Changed hands for 13,000 gns the following month and probably needed the run back on turf at Chester a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces refitted and this will reveal more.

Timeform Verdict

The suggestion is NYMAN, whose last 2 runs have strongly suggested he's coming to the boil. Obelix was unlucky not to have gone close at Beverley last month having suffered significant interference and must enter calculations, along with Mr King, who's holding his form well at present.
