Out of a useful 1m 2yo winner; race a bit too freely but still made very pleasing debut when keeping-on second of ten at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal here.

Steadily progressive at two (bagged 5f Musselburgh maiden) and he resumed from nine months off with a good fourth of 14 over C&D last month; possibilities.

Didn't have to improve to win a four-runner Musselburgh maiden last July (5f, good; at 1-6); creditable seventh in the Super Sprint at Newbury 18 days later; absent since; one of three runners for Kevin Ryan.

33-1 for recent Wetherby debut (5.5f, good), shaping with promise before fading into fourth of six; probably needs to take a big step forward here.

Down the field in good-ground handicaps on his two starts this year, the latest at Hamilton on Sunday; however, he won a soft-ground maiden at Ayr (6f) last September and the return to a slow surface may be just what he needs.

Ended 2025 with breakthrough victory at Ayr (6f); off seven months and shaped as if the run was needed when a fading fifth of seven in 6f Pontefract handicap on his recent return; can take a step forward now.

Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last July on second start then well beaten in Group 2 at Goodwood (7f, good) later that month; reappeared with close second of six in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago but it's likely he needs a much bigger run in this hot contest.

Cost 550,000gns as a yearling and ran only three times as a 2yo, winning 7f novice at Beverley (good to firm) before being hampered when last in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood; has not been let in lightly for handicap debut judged on that bare form, but he's completely unexposed, will stay 1m and his stable won this race 12 months ago; respected.

Debut winner over 6f at Hamilton (good to soft); failed to justify a shade off odds-on when penalised at Southwell (7f AW) and that was disappointing, for all that a very slow pace might not have helped; bred to improve for this longer trip.
