Tame end to last season and no return to form on his two starts this year; however, he's 2lb lower than when winning this under Olivia Haines last year (good to firm) and the return to the Rowley Mile could trigger a revival.

Multiple wins on AW and turf; has done well for this yard and his 6f turf form in 2025 certainly bears scrutiny; respectable efforts back on grass of late and while not at full strength in either, he'll be suited by this stiffer test at 6f providing there's a good pace; form chance.

No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark.

Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style.
