His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out.

All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up.

Has done really well since joining current yard, with a close second at Chelmsford followed by wins at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) and Chelmsford (1m, AW); up another 4lb but he's really kicked on again this season and is open to more progress; big player.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row at around 1m on AW last summer and latest was off 1lb lower; looks interesting on that form and hasn't had much luck in running in two of his last three runs; left Michael Wigham for 14,000gns last month; now returns to turf for the first time since 2023 but he's one to keep an eye on for new yard.

Won first time out twice in the past, which is a positive back from seven months off, although he's getting on now; a long time since he was seen regularly on turf and doesn't run at shy of 1m often, meaning others have more pressing claims.

Seven-time turf winner including off 2lb higher over C&D last July; added a third AW win to his record in December and he's held his form well in six subsequent runs; drops back in grade after a creditable third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and he should get a decent tow into this race; dangerous.

Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say.

Form & Verdict
Kicked off his handicap career with emphatic win on the other course here (1m, good) in April; hit with 9lb rise for that and was held in the Silver Bowl at Haydock, but he ran well again and did best of those who raced up with the pace; needs to find more but he's still unexposed and is not ruled with hood added.
