Verdict
TRIBAL WISDOM is really thriving with consecutive wins at Wolverhampton, making good headway out wide before edging ahead last time, and can defy a 3lb rise. Flying Fletcher is better on all-weather with two course wins here and should appreciate stepping up in trip. Lessay has been in good form at 7f but is less convincing at a mile.

VerdictWon twice at this C&D in June/July 2025 but finished 12th of 18 in handicap at York over 7f (28/1) 121 days ago when found out in better company.

VerdictReally thriving at present with wins in last two starts at Wolverhampton, both over 8.6f. First of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5/1) 14 days ago, making good headway out wide before edging ahead in the final 100 yards. Up 3lbs but should continue to give a good account.

VerdictBetter on AW than turf, with two course wins at Newcastle. Fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle over 7f (13/8) 18 days ago, doing well despite meeting trouble. Previous course form offers hope when stepping back up in trip. Winless in last 16 starts.
