Form figures of 121 to start his career in the spring, including a 1m win off this mark at Goodwood on handicap debut, but he's not lived up to that; gelded before penultimate start, which was a fair effort at Ascot, but he did not show much at Ayr on latest (both on soft).

Spring performances over 1m (121) represented a very solid start to his career; came up well short in a pair of strong 3yo-only handicaps in the summer but back on track after a gelding operation when fourth of 11 at Ascot (7f, soft) 15 days ago; that was his first outing for two months so he might come on for it; not discounted.

Won on handicap debut here (1m, good) in May and has continued to progress, easily making all at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month; beat just four rivals last time and has a 9lb rise to overcome in this much hotter race, but this 3yo is clearly thriving and could play another leading role.

All three turf starts have been on good ground; won handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m) and beaten a neck at Goodwood (1m) later in May; stepping up to 1m2f seemed to suit him well when he came from well off the pace for third of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) 16 days ago, which sees him raised another 3lb today and he faces some unexposed rivals.

Got up close home on handicap and seasonal debut at Newmarket in May (1m, good; beating the subsequent Italian Derby winner) and beaten just a neck here (1m, good) later that month, when again keeping on well having raced lazily at times; this step up to 1m2f could be just what he needs; chance.

All three wins on heavy or soft going and his career surged forward on last three starts of 2025 when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown and Newbury before his third of 22 off this mark over 1m4f in the November Handicap here; still interesting off this mark and returning to 1m2f looks fine but there's a question of whether the ground will be soft enough.

1-4 for another yard last spring and the same for the Moores this May-September; the two wins were on heavy and soft, including in nine-runner race at Sandown (1m2f) on latest outing when he came from off the pace and scampered just over 5l clear; 10lb higher today but needs plenty of respect after that big career best on similar ground.

11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender.

Best effort in handicaps this season was a second over 1m on the July course; hasn't built on that as she was last at Goodwood and never remotely threatened with the cheekpieces left off at Windsor; those aids now return but she's not overly convincing.

Lightly raced filly who won on good to soft as 2yo; her best effort in handicaps this season was a second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June but she failed to beat a rival at Glorious Goodwood last time; takes a big drop back in grade but her form has been up and down so far and others are more convincing; has worn headgear in last six starts but not today.

Won on good to soft as 2yo; backward steps in her first two handicaps this season, including last of eight over 1m at this track, but back-to-form second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on latest; wore cheekpieces last five starts, now tongue-tie as well; 1m2f is another notable change, given the stamina on dam's side and the way she made late gains at Newmarket.
