Looked rusty on return from 7 months off when respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 13/2) 18 days ago. Should step up on that.

C&D winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 11/1) 12 days ago. Still 5 lb above last winning mark but he can be a factor again.

Arrives on the back of a career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm) 6 days ago, supplementing his Beverley success. Penalty to carry in a better race but he still commands respect.

9/2 and tongue strap on for first time, second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Yet to win a race (including when trained in France) but this looks his trip.

Frankel gelding who showed the benefit of his first run when winning 7-runner novice at Beverley (9.9f) in September. Seemed unsuited by conditions when fifth of 7 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on final 2024 but hooded, he caught the eye on reappearance/handicap debut at Chelmsford.
Timeform Verdict 
Low-mileage 4-y-o FOX AVATAR caught the eye when fourth on handicap debut/reappearance at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and expected to step up on that, he could be the answer. Gincident looks ready for this trip so he's a major threat, with Dashinwhitesargent also of interest.
