Bumped into highly progressive winner when denied Wolverhampton five-timer; strong claims

Well beaten on heavy on final two runs last October but promise previously; lightly raced

Returned to form with close second at Wolverhampton and he could be in the mix back up 2lb

On a competitive mark but there are doubts about his current form and this new trip

Has dropped down the weights; wind op since last run, which needs to make a difference

Suited by these cheekpieces last year; C&D winner; chance if fully tuned up on return
4 (7)	Timeless Charm Chestnut J:David Egan T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:David Egan T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	133	—	/500-8	76	91	65	63d	—	—	+2	8.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Impressive on debut in 2023 but lightly raced since and has struggled to get competitive
6 (4)	Golden Circet Chestnut J:Luke Morris T:Jim & Suzi Best	J:Luke Morris T:Jim & Suzi Best	131	t	34918-	74	89	54	185d	—	—	+11	14.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Clonmel maiden winner; the betting may be informative on his stable debut

C&D winner; return to form needed but step back up in trip and the cheekpieces could help
