Form & Verdict
6f win as a 2yo; strong 5f form last season, winning twice (AW and good turf); operating a little below that level this year but did shape as if this return to 5f may help when fading into fourth over 6f here three weeks ago; a classy sort for this grade if back to anywhere near his best.

None too consistent but he surged back to form with a win at Hamilton (5f, good; made all) two weeks ago; that was only his second go in blinkers and he's again of interest off 4lb higher.

Suited by a stiff finish, as he showed when making a successful reappearance at Beverley (5f, good) in April; not in quite the same form when fading into fourth at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) since.

Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f.

Form & Verdict
Didn't fulfil his potential for Charlie Hills but has made a positive start for his new yard, winning at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) before good fourth of 13 at York (5f, good); next-time-out winners Bergerac and Jm Jungle (Epsom Dash) were narrowly ahead in second/third at York so the form looks strong; big player from the same mark.

Had a good season for new yard in 2025, winning on second start and running two excellent races at Ripon when returned to 6f, notably when first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid (good to firm) in August; confirmed his liking for that course when winning there three weeks ago and needs to prove he's the same horse elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Only an AW novice win to his name but has several creditable efforts in handicaps, including latest third of nine at Southwell (5f, AW); won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces with his yard back among the winners.

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance.
