Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that.

Slow-starter who broke losing run over C&D in December; good run here last time behind Biplane but he's the type who needs things to slot perfectly into place.

Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including here on good to firm); encouraging seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) last month and likely remains in better form than his subsequent Ripon ninth might suggest as he was second home on his side.

Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps; fully effective over C&D and he made an encouraging seasonal return at Catterick last week, second of nine having been headed inside the final furlong (6f, good); looks the likeliest leader up the far side if the field split.
