Lightly raced and improving; beat Fingal's Hill by 2l at Newcastle (2m4f) before finding only one too good upped to Class 2 level at Haydock (3m, good); didn't fail for stamina that day but he'll be fine back in trip; player.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Nicky Richards

Maiden winner who opened his account in handicaps with a comfortable win at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; a 3lb rise seems fair for all that it wasn't a strong race, and his yard can do little wrong right now.

Only win was in a four-runner Musselburgh maiden hurdle in December 2024 (2m4f, good to soft); best run this season when second over same C&D in January (good to soft); chance on that form.

J: Callum Bewley

T: Nicky Richards

Things have been up and down since he won on his rules debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in December 2024 but this lightly raced 6yo was back on song when runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) last month; could be in the shake-up if conditions aren't an issue (unproven on soft).
