Form & Verdict
Promising second to a subsequent winner on his 6f Kempton debut and didn't need to improve on that to land the odds at the same course next time; trainer is 21-78 with 3yos here and he retains potential.

Has a good record in this sphere, including a win and eyecatching third on AW finals day in 2025/2026; regressive since returned to turf but could well prove resurgent in this scenario; mark is attractive.

He has done all his winning on AW (3-8) and has never finished better than fourth in his five starts on turf; hung badly right when behind in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood latest and connections now turn to cheekpieces.

He has done all his winning on AW but his fourth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April is a comparable standard; can win races on the grass but perhaps not this one.

Form & Verdict
Both runs to date have come over C&D, his opening third (slowly away) reading well; was a touch below that level last time and may ultimately want a bit further, so whether today's smaller field will help remains to be seen.

Won a 1m handicap at Redcar in May off this mark; third of seven at Goodwood (1m, soft) three weeks ago was a return to form but he has more on his plate in this company.

Progressive last autumn and rediscovered that thread to win at Redcar (1m, good) in May; hasn't been running badly over about 1m2f subsequently but needs something extra if he's to take this.

Made the experienced favourite work for it when a clear second on his 5f Tapeta debut and had a couple of subsequent winners behind when off the mark at Chelmsford latest; likely has more to offer.

Won 6f AW maiden at Chelmsford in February; some fair handicap runs since and, as he was picking up nicely late on in a recent Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW, he looks worth a go at 7f; can be involved.

Form & Verdict
Trainer best known for older handicappers and, Wolverhampton aside, doesn't have a good record with 3yos on the AW; this 160,000gns half-brother to top-class Inspiral (among others), who wears a hood on debut, looks the part on paper though.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Developed into fairly useful 1m2f Flat handicapper this season; raced far too freely when second on both hurdling starts, more recently when 2-11 favourite at Stratford (2m, good) last month, where he built up a big lead before capitulating in the home staight; has plenty of ability but comes with risk attached; tongue-tie refitted.
